enjoyed them both equally and
feel that either one will make a
great bike for those new to the
motorcycle scene. For most
people, I imagine that price will
be the determining factor when
choosing between the 300 and
500. If freeway riding is going to
be part of your daily ride, how-
ever, spending the extra $1600
for the 500 will be money well
spent, otherwise you'll be happy
being a rebel on either one.
