hello im new here,

my name is vik and im from chicago. im considering purchasing a new bike and considering how this will be my first bike ever i have a question i'd like to ask.

1982 gs750e 22k miles, very good condition, few dents but looks new and runs great for $1200. do u think thats a good deal?

there is also a 1995 gs500e 3k miles, mint condition for $1800.

my question is are these prices valid for the bike model? and considering that i have never ridden a bike in my life and this will be my first are they good choices? im leaning towards the gs750e cause its less costly but it weighs 100 lbs more than the gs500e, is weight really gonna cause any problems?

your reply will be greatly appreciated.
thanks.
