Returning Visitors
If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.
If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.
It doesn't really stand for anything other than it's a model designation - on the early GS's, the E was the sporty model. Suzuki's E model bikes tended to be trimmed to a higher level with things like mag wheels and dual front discs on the 550/750/1000. In the case of your 450, the E has mag wheels and a different tank/seat/tail. There might be other things that are different but these are some of the obvious differences.

Thank you for your fast response. I was curious because my 450e is so much faster then any other 450 i have ever ridden. My friend has an 01 honda shadow 750 and my 450e blows it away off the line and in top end...just thought that shouldnt be. So I was wondering if the e series were geared diffrent then others. I love my gs.
You already have your answer to your question, but your friends 750 has something wrong with it for your 450 to out perform it, or there's been some serious work done to the 450.
No disrespect, just the way it is.
