A step up form the old GS500, the 2008 MY GS500F retains the features of the first generation, packing together the easy-to-master versatility of the half-liter engine and a decent amount of riding fun, while the F suffix introduces the stylish full-faired looks, as well.
With a headlight styled just like the big sporty bikes in the Suzuki stable, the 2008 MY GS500F is an economical commuter which is not shy to ride the extra mile if longer hauls are on the weekend's menu. This middleweight all-rounder with stylish bodywork will not disappoint you, especially as it offers more weather protection than its naked sibling.
