I haven’t ridden a gs500, but I just bought a ninja 650r as my first bike. I can’t imagine that the power difference between the 500 and the 650 is that extreme. It’s obviously up to you, but I would just start on the 650, unless you’re planning a bigger upgrade than that. Others might disagree with me about the difference, and since I haven’t ridden a gs500, I’m certainly not an authority.
