The early GT550 & GT380 side covers look different.

The GT550 has a longer wheelbase & has a bigger battery because of electric start.
BAS (Bike Acquisition Syndrome) - too many bikes but have room for more

GT750 2x75
GT550 72 & 75
GT380 72
T500 69 project & 73 project
T350 69 & 71

No. Nothing like at all.

550J/K are the same, all other 550s after are the same.
Late ones don't fit early airfilter assembly.
Think of how stupid the average person is, then realise that half of them are more stupid than that.
