The Suzuki GS 500 is a motorcycle from the Japanese manufacturer Suzuki , which has been built since 1989 with various technical changes. The motorcycle is now available in the variants GS 500 ( naked bike ) and GS 500 F with fairing. The engine of today's GS 500 E is derived from the GS 400 of the late 1970s and early 1980s, which was built into the GSX 400 E from 1984 . From 1978 to 1981 there was a GS 550 E with a 50 hp four-cylinder engine, which belonged to the series of the GS 550/750 (with chain drive) and GS 850/1100 (with cardan drive).

The GS 500 is a popular entry-level and driving school motorcycle in Germany because of its uncomplicated driving characteristics, the manageable range of services and the comparatively low maintenance costs.

Because of the strict emissions regulations, the GS 500 E / F has not been sold in Germany since 2006. In some other countries, however, you can still buy them today.
