Good point, plus the 700 only makes 47 HP and red lines at 6500 rpm, so if the 500 makes 43 HP it might be a more entertaining ride. Plus it's 2K cheaper. Sent via BlackBerry by AT&T

It has a bigger fuel tank (4.5 vs the 700's 3.7), has a slightly shorter wheelbase, weighs 40 pounds less, and actually has slightly shallower rake. Should be the more maneuverable of the two, which for a city commuter makes perfect sense. -Kurt On Fri, Dec 28, 2012 at 4:07 PM, Allen Thomas <althomas...@gmail.com> wrote: > ** > Don't forget about women, most of them don't feel comfortable with larger > bikes.
