The Suzuki GS500E is the classic version of Suzuki's long-running learner twin. Its air-cooled 487cc parallel twin, simple steel frame and easy handling made it one of Europe's most popular first big bikes from the late 1980s into the 2000s.

It is cheap to run, reliable and forgiving, which also made it a common choice for training schools and racing series. It was later joined by the faired GS500F. Rivals included the Kawasaki ER-5 and Honda CB500.
