Suzuki UK has done this before with the B12... don't think the earlier ones came with GPS though.

We Canucks get just the fully faired version with bags and top box.....no GPS.....which was shown at the International Motorcycle Show here recently. Sorry, I forgot to take any pics since it was a non-starter for me personally.
IMO, it's all just more bling to rope in the punters.....but that's just me.
I'm quite content with my throw-over Givis and large sports bag.
What Suzuki REALLY needs to do is add about 4" to the rear of the front fender to keep the road crap off the header and the engine. This would make a LOT more sense to me and would cost the factory peanuts to do in production. Why should I have to pay the aftermarket people for this little add-on AND go to the trouble to mount it AND have it look like what it is....a cheesey add-on ???
While I'm at it, the factory can ALSO put the front bungee pins back on, too.
It's stupid things like this that make Suzuki look sooooooo chintzy.
