We've been looking for a good starter bike for my wife since she took the MSF BRC a couple months ago. She's been keeping in practice in parking lots on my NT - but obviously it is not an ideal beginners bike. Found this GS500 - which I've always heard was an ideal starter bike - and we're probably going to look at it in the next few days. But since I am no expert nor mechanic I was hoping to get some feedback from others. Does it look like a decent deal? Any advice or wisom or insight? It's a 1995 GS500 with 14K miles and looks to be in good condition for $1400. Kelley Blue Book says an excellent condition model retail would be $1210 - but would also have much more miles on it. Here are the ads.
