It doesn't take a Suzuki specialist to figure out that the 2004 MY GS500F is the faired version of the old GS500E machine, as the final F is pretty self-explanatory. The GS500F represents a new stage in the history of the half-liter commuter, introducing better weather protection for the rider, a more aggressive appearance and better cooling efficiency thanks to the air channeling technology.
Under the new bodywork, you'll meet a 6-speed 487cc parallel-twin engine, pretty much the same unit in the GS500E, This means you'll be in charge of 47 hp and 40 Nm, pretty decent figures for an all-rounder, beginner-friendly bike just under 180 kg.
