The 2009 MY GS500F is the smallest member of the GS family, a natural evolution from the naked older models and a very good road-opener for new riders who want to get familiarized with the sport class. Tame, but not lazy, the GS500F introduces a full fairing which provides sporty looks and better wind protection, while the white-blue color scheme harks back to the classic GSX-R machines.
The parallel twin engine is air- and oil-cooled and mated to a compliant 6-speed transmission for optimal power and torque balance in all riding scenarios. Good for a new rider, the GS500F is a fun machine for more experienced ones, as well.
