Welcome aboard! If you check around in the "New Bikers" forums, you'll find lots of opinions on starter bikes, including the ones in which you're interested. I have no experience on either, but others can give you some info. Enjoy the forums!
Cheers,
Loonette

fact: the ninja 500 has a little more power.
opinions: the GS500 looks way better. yes, even the E version. in fact, i'd rather pick the E over the F version.

Hi everyone, i decided to go with the kawasaki 500, but the dealer said he wants $6000 for it and its only a 06. The new 07 models have a MSRP of $5000. Do you think it's worth it?

In continental USA the price of a 07 is $ 5000, but maybe because you are in Hawaii, it cost more.......
Here in Mexico the bikes cost one or two thousands more than USA, because the taxes and customs...
Is there only one dealer o you have choices ?
