Excellent example of why you should start out with a lower powered bike, the more power there is, the quicker things can go sideways on you…(pun intended…)…the other thing that I would suggest, make sure it is comfortable for you…I bought my bike because I liked the looks of it (and it was highly recommended as a beginner bike…GS500) and found that the leg room is a little tight for me…now I am wanting to upgrade this year to a bike with more leg room(I’m going to a more powerful bike at the same time)…I really don’t need the extra power, as the GS500 has enough to get me into trouble, but if I am going to buy a new bike I am going to get one with a little more powa…although I still like my GS, so I am really looking at a naked Bandit…similar looks and lots more room and power…or maybe a Honda 919…
