Default 2004 GS 500 F

I've been waiting month after month (since September) for the LA Suzuki dealers to get some new GS 500 F's in stock. I'd like to get one for my wife to start riding again. It's always "next month". Has anyone seen the 04 model anywhere yet? U.S., Canada, Europe,, Australia, New Zealand? Maybe Suzuki is having production problems? Maybe LA is last on the list for delivery?

I haven't gone through the dealers yet, but I'm really interested in that model but I might just go with an older GS500 for budgeting reasons. Tax time...

I might get an older model if the 04's don't arrive soon. It's that or the R6 she wants!

No it's not just for the looks. She could handle the R6 which is what she wants in the end. She hasn't been on a bike herself for a few years. I'd feel better if she started back with the GS for a year, then pass it to our son to learn on. I just prefer to get a new one since it will be around for a while and will get a lot of use.

Dealer here in Houston has one on their floor, it was crated up for a while, but they got it out last week. It is a yellow and black one. I was hoping to see a blue and white one for my wife. Thinking of getting her one. It seemed to fit her good, if I was starting out myself, I would probably go for it.
