i bought a gs500f last year. i have put around 700 miles on the bike, no problems! checked the bolts & nuts,changed the oil & filter. i'm 33 yrs old & been riding every kind of bike you can think of. i like the fill of the bike,great in town,& on interstate rds. i drive around 55 miles a day & i can zip in town & back out with out the loud noise of the bigger bikes. i have a 1600 for me & moma, but it stays on the stand most of the time know. i'd rather ride the 500 than the 1600. i get around 190 miles before reserv: & the 1600 gets around 130. see the differance. don't seem like alot, but when your in town or just want to run over a freinds house u will notice. (thanks J.B.)

Having been riding motorcycles for 30 years I have allways kept in a time warp and seemed to be riding Classics. I have a Suzuki GT 750 Water cooled and now decided to try a modern bike that would be a lot lighter to use so I stumbled upon the Suzuki GS500F. What a machine this little bike is I have a nice twisty road near me that I have ...  Read the complete review

GENERAL These bikes will take alot of abuse from novice DAS riders!. At a local training school where i help out they have one that has gone round the clock and still going well.Most of the ones i have see have been crashed or dropped at some time.

After passing my bike test in Oct 2000 on a 125 Kawasaki, I progressed to an old Honda Superdream CB250 and then my husbands Yamaha Diversion and Virago , but this year I was determined to pick a bike of my own. I wanted a sporty, fun bike with lots of go in it and considered the Bandit, CBR500 and Kawasaki ER5. As we were passing our local bike ...  Read the complete review

I bought a brand new GS500 in early January 2004 (although it's actually the K2 model -not the "very new" one). It chose the blue one (I think the black doesn't look very nice). The blue colour is beautiful with the silver contrast of the frame and rear end. Incidentally I think the very new ones don't look quite as good. The ...  Read the complete review

I just bought this bike (new), and I have been riding it for about 4 weeks now. All I can say is: BIG DIFFERENCE. I use to drive a Gilera 125 (and I passed my full bike test last year to carry a passanger), but deciced to change because when carrying my wife, the scooter did not have any power (she is very light before you ask!). Also, the riding ...  Read the complete review

Been riding for over 45 years now. Bike before the GS500 was a Honda Deauville. Deauville was top heavy and very heavy.When dropped I couldn`t pick it up..embarrassing ! Happened once and promised myself never again. So I looked for something light and nippy with quick handling. Why not explore the modern equivalent of my youth...a decent parallel ...  Read the complete review

I returned to motorbikes after a 20 year gap when a friend persuaded me to have a go on his VFR. Hooked again, I was lucky enough to be in the right place at the right time to pick up a second hand J registered 500E with just 4000 miles on the clock. This was two years ago and I have enjoyed every minute on the bike since. The bike is ...  Read the complete review

I bought a Suzuki GS500 in April of this year, and have been in love ever since. As a commuter, this bike doesn't blow your mind with oodles of power or top end speed. What it does do though is leave you wondering how long you've actually been out on the thing. It has a more than ample saddle, and an upright riding position. This makes ...  Read the complete review
