In 1989, the Suzuki GS 500 made its debut in the European and North American markets. This year's models featured low, two-piece handlebars that visually resembled clip-ons and, combined with a diagonal steel frame, gave the bike a sporty look. By 1990, the handlebar height was increased.
2011 was the last year of production of the model, after which it finally left the market. In recent years of production, the main market for the Suzuki GS500 has been the South American market. The main reason for the withdrawal of the model from production was the tightening of environmental standards, which the old carburetor engine with an air cooling system did not comply with.
