    Dumb question: What's a "Skunk"

    I've searched for the origin of the word "skunk" as referring to motorcycles and have come up blank. My google-fu must be weak. Is is just Suzukis? only GS's? a certain type of modification?, bikes of a certain vintage?. Anyone care to clue me in? I feel like I should know this but honestly don't have a clue.

    Not much to it other than the '78 GS1000E has black paint with a white stripe.

          And I thought it was a small white animal and that someone forgot to remove the tape along its back and tail before it was spray-painted black.
