The '''[[Suzuki]] GS 500E''' was a Air-cooled, Inline-2, DOHC, 8 Valves Naked [[motorcycle]] produced by [[Suzuki]] between 1980 and 1989. Claimed [[horsepower]] was 46.0 HP (34.3 KW) @ 9200 RPM. 
 
==Engine==
A 73.9mm [[bore]] x 73.9mm [[stroke]] result in a [[displacement]] of just 487.0 cubic centimeters. 
 
==Drive==
The bike has a 6 -Speed transmission. Power was moderated via the Wet multi-plate. 
 
==Chassis==
It came with a 110/70-17 front [[tire]] and a 130/70-17 rear tire. Stopping was achieved via Single Hydraulic, Floating 310 Mm Disc in the front and a Single Hydraulic 250 Mm Disc in the rear. The front suspension was a  Telescopic Fork while the rear was equipped with a Swingarm. The wheelbase was 55.51 inches (1410 mm) long.

The Suzuki GS 500E probably performs best in town where a bit of low down grunt can see you out of any nasty entanglements. Elsewhere, however, the GS 500E's a chore to get it up to speed. High mileages are common, which is a good sign, but the whole set up needs to be updated to keep the Suzuki GS 500E in touch with modern competitors.

Suzuki GS 500E launched as an unfaired roadster. Very few, minor tweaks (front forks became adjustable, as did the brake lever, it got lower bars etc) until 2001 when it was discontinued. The Suzuki GS 500E probably performs best in town where a bit of low down grunt can see you out of any nasty entanglements.
