Another mark for the EX500

...they're excellent race bikes. Yes, I said race bikes. They don't run in the same class as the supersport 600's, but they're excellent for those who plan on taking up roadracing (cheap too). So get an EX500 now, and when you graduate to a BiggerFaster street bike, make your EX into a trackday/raceday scoot and go drag some knee

Ugh, don't get a Nighthawk 750...the things are HEAVY. Find something with a few less pounds and you'll be better off, especially in tighter maneuvering. I work at a Honda dealer, and the 750 is a pig next to my Kawi ZR550, which has about the same power but a bunch less weight. The advantage to the Nighthawk however, is that the thing is almost bulletproof. They'll run forever, given regular oil changes.
