What I like about the 500 is that it fills the void between the 300/650. The 500 is not a direct competitor with either the 300 nor 650 in terms of power or price. It's significantly heavier and more expensive than the 300 and significantly cheaper and lighter than the 650. If this 500 had been out when I was looking for a second bike it would have been seriously looked at (provided of course it comes in black
)
I hope to see more sport twins under 650cc's in the future
Newgen 250 will always be #1 though
