After receiving a solid makeover in the aesthetic department for the previous year, the 2006 MY GS500F carries on the sporty, faired looks, while continually adding to the increasingly better attire. A middleweight bike par excellence, the GS500F now sports an aggressive one-piece headlight with a short windshield and a chin spoiler for impeccable looks.
This entry-level sport bike is easy to master and will prove a most worthy companion for urban commuting and even longer trips, as the bodywork is offering much more protection than what the naked GS500 used to. Add in the good fuel economy and low maintenance costs, and prepare to have more fun aboard this bike than you could ever dream.
