2009 Suzuki GS500F

Looks like a GSX-R, but smaller, easier to buy and easier to ride.

  • List Price $5499

Quite possibly Suzuki's most inviting entry-level streetbike, the GS500F combines an aggressive, sporting look with a user-friendly personality and wallet-friendly price tag. Its full fairing provides good wind protection and features a pair of vertically stacked headlights that project a striking resemblance to those on the mighty GSX-R1000. For that reason, don't be surprised if you receive nods and waves of acceptance from passing Gixxer riders. The 500F's rigid box-section steel frame, single-shock suspension, light curb weight and agile handling offer beginners plenty of encouragement to explore the joys of corner carving.
