  • 2005 Suzuki GS 500 F
    By  (I am an Owner) on Jul 18, 2010

    As my first bike, the 2005 Suzuki GS 500 F was perfect! It is well mannered, comfortable and easy to ride. The seating position is more "standard" than "sport" due to the slight rise in the handlebars and generally upright seating position. The brakes are good for normal driving conditions and ...

    Additionally, the bike handles very well in the rain, and is really easy to work on oneself. The center stand in particular makes oil changes and clearing the chain an easy and almost fun job.

    The GS 500 is an outstanding bike for what it is. This is not a high preformance sport bike, a cruiser nor tour bike. This is a "General Purpose" bike that commutes to and from wrok and is suffecently fun for the week ends. Dressed out it could be taken on long trips.

    Riding position is ...

    My personal mpg is in the upper 50's (58.8 mpg) on a recent tank but I drive like the old man I am.

    Over all a great general use bike
