Saturn wasn't the 500 your first bike? How is it?

Yeah, I had a 91 GS500E for my first bike and it was a great bike. It was definately HEAVY compared to the 250, and secondarily, it was supposed to be naked (the model year wasn't full faired like the 05+ models are), but mine had an aftermarket "african engineered" fairing that was pretty cool, to me at least. Granted, I did choose to get rid of it after my first season on it, but it was EASY to resell, and I barely lost any money on the deal (all things considered). I am still glad that I started on the 500 than on a 600, especially cause I got a nicer bike for the money than I could have buying any 600 at the time.

Harley. :LOL:

Look up SV650 far as sport v-twin goes, it handles just as well 600 supersports, if not better.

I think I'll probably end up looking for a GS500F. Thanks for the comments.

No, I am not a big fan of Harley. And that little SV is still quite faster than most stock Harleys. Buell uses Harley engines.
