If you're shopping list reads "a naked middleweight commuter which can do anything from streaking through the urban jungle to fast hauls on the highway and everything in between" it;s time to pay a visit to the nearest Suzuki dealers and ask about the GS500E.
This machine is the stripped down version of the GS500F, a nice half-liter bike which is great for both beginners and more experienced riders in search of an economical ride in and around the town, but which also retains a dash of sporty punch. An elementary road going machine, the 2008 MY comes with an air-cooled engine and a single-disc front brake, a generous two-up seat and excellent stance for long hours spent behind the bar.
