Would you move on from the 500?

Would you 'upgrade' to a bigger bike?

Definately.
Never.
I already have.
Indecisive.

Maybe after a few more years might take a slight step up to the GSX650F so its a little easier two up.

Due to it's small displacement, GS500 insurance is about $169.00 a year for full coverage, and registration was about $25.00 a year. That's almost free!
Plus the GS500 with its center-stand can be stored against the back wall of a shed or garage till needed.
But I guess it's a matter of want.
If Ourea is simply bored with his GS500 then I guess he might as well trade it. A new bike energizes the soul. :thumb:

That would be nice costs but it just isn't so here in Australia.

Didn't realize the punitive cost over there.
As I understand it the licensing is bit complicated too.
Here in the US anything short of the village idiot can legally drive or ride (and it shows).

Upgrade probably isn't the best terminology here but given the right circumstances would you buy a different bike?
The 'bigger' bike I have been looking at is one I probably should have bought in the first place, the Yamaha FZ6R.
Getting back on topic. . .
To properly answer the question: Yes, I would most certainly give up my GS500F for an FZ6R. The build quality on a Yamaha is superb too.
Nice choice!  :thumb:
