Even though the old GS500 has entered a new life stage and is no longer sold in certain markets, there are still a lot of riders who enjoy its mildly sporty character and will go for it. A very good first street bike, but an equally rewarding machine for more seasoned riders, the GS500 is a naked all-rounder which is not shy of almost anything.
Perfect for urban navigation in your daily commuting, great for weekend outings on winding roads and suitable for longer trips when supplied with a luggage system. Air-cooling is keeping an eye on the bike's weight, while the whole compact build makes the GS500 slender and agile.
