Help Im a newbie and need advice on a bike purchace!

[Erikj]

Hey all I'm wanting to start riding but, I have no idea how to start or where and need a little help. I had my first ride about 3 weeks ago on a buddies bike and I fell in love with it. I went and took my permit test to get that out of the way. I'm about 6'2 i weigh about 145 if that means anything. I've also been reading around about what to start with so my first question is about the bike I'm looking at? I currently have a chance to get 06' Suzuki GS500F its only got 500 miles on it and is in like new condition for $4000. I was wondering if you guys thought its worth it to go ahead and pick it up or if I should start smaller? Thanks for any help!

KBB says $2380 to $3495. So was the first service done?

I have had many friends start their riding careers on the GS500. Good dependable machine.

Have you sat on it? If so, how did it feel for fit?

Good luck and enjoy once you get out riding your own machine.

Ride safe,
