SUZUKI GS500E (2002-2003)

The 2003 MY GS500E is a no-frills half-liter air and oil-cooled machine which simply gets the job done. Great as an all-rounder for the asphalt roads, the GS500E is an economical commuter, too. perfect for slicing the city at rush hour, it will also feel great on the open highway.

With room for two, this bike boasts naked simplicity: an easy to maintain parallel twin engine, no fairings to crash when the bike flips over, cast wheels and a manual 6-speed which will feel great both in the urban environment and on countryside roads.
