When Suzuki introduced the GS500F, it offered a new perspective one the old half-liter GS, and adding a hefty dose of modern bike design to keep the interest alive. However, the new model was more successful than anticipated, most likely because it blended the sporty looks with affordability, ease of use and all-rounder functionality. Great for urban and sub-urban commuting, city errands and open-highway fun, this air/oil-cooled parallel twin is agile and lightweight and is a great choice for people who are honing in their rider skills.
And with a 6-speed transmission and low-mid range-focused power and torque deployment, the 2010 MY GS500F is also rider-friendly and offers a reassuring feel for riders in their debut seasons.
