I had a 2004 GS500F as my first bike. It was a great bike...fairly light, quite forgiving, and pretty decent-looking, if that matters. I actually was looking around for a used GS500 with no fairing, but had trouble finding one, and then got the GSF on a dealer clearout for $4999 Cdn. Interestingly, any used GSF's I've seen have had asking prices at or above what I paid for mine new!

Good luck in your search...and enjoy the MSF course!

I had trouble with my MSF classes. I rode my GS to the first class and after riding the cruisers for so long it felt weird to rode in the sporty position.

Get that GS500, they are great for beginners
