Sweet!  Points out something I am not sure everyone is aware of...500CCs is not considered a small bike compared to most countries.  They are racing around on 250s, 350s, etc.

When I was stationed in Italy a couple of years ago I bought an RGV250R and I thought that bike was amazing for a 250. Two stroke, two cyclinders, incredible power bands, real light, crazy fast.  I can't imagine a 500cc RGV.

What are the main differences between the RGV500 and the GS500F performance wise?

I really wish we'd gotten the smaller displacment sportbikes in this country... As it is, we get to move up from a 410 pound, 40 horsepower machine, to a 350 pound, 120 horsepower machine. (GS500 - just about any current 600cc sportbike)

Where are the CBR400s and RGV500s?  :x  :x  :x  :x  :x
