Segment: Sport / Super Sport

Introduced as a 2004 model, the GS500F is the natural evolution from the naked middleweight machine which had pleased generations of beginners and seasoned riders. Upgraded to more sporty looks, the GS500F received a full fairing, a modern headlight and an overall styling overhaul, while retaining the docile, rider-friendly character of the bike.
Versatile, forgiving, exceptionally functional and economic, the GS500F is also light thanks to the air and oil cooling system, adding to the maneuverability and generic performance.
