Great read, I am actually taking the course next week and thinking about these two bikes as well. While I would rather get a new one as I have had many people try to sell me a used car that was complete BS (bad fixes, broken things they said were working right) and with no bike experience I would believe anything someone said. I would love to hear what you are seeing for prices for the gs 500 even if you live some where else.
