Sometimes referred to as the small Bandit, the 2001 MY GS500E is a middleweight sporty, naked bike which can be used for both commuting, canyon carving fun and even road touring, when equipped with accessory luggage systems. Lightweight and providing effortless handling, the GS500E provides a rewarding ride to both new and more experienced motorcyclists, while its upright riding position is comfy for hours in a row.

The air-cooled parallel twin engine is mated to a 6-speed gearbox which makes city slicing and highway hauls an effortless business and the GS500E an excellent no-frills, economical and fun commuter, too.
