Welcome R3d!  I myself have about a month with my new GS500F and it's great.  Believe me, the remorse will go away once you see the bike and take her for a couple of cruises.  I would have to agree with everyone else about taking the MSF course (very informative/helpful) and always wearing good protective gear.  I'm very happy with my purchase and you just have to learn to respect and feel as one with your bike!
Good luck and safe riding.
