I know I almost did and the only thing that kept me from doing so is that my bike at the time only weighed just over 300 lbs so I could man handle it. They both sound like good starter bikes to me. As long as you are carefull either way.
thanks man i really appreciate it, that was very helpful.

the gs750e is also in very good shape and he said he replaced the battery and some cables thats all. the tires are not bad either. nothing leaking though, but you do have a good point about finding parts for an old bike cause you never know how things are gonna turn out once i buy the bike.
here's the pic:





the gs500e is in perfect mint condition, no scratches nothing and it sounds and looks good.



the weight issue is a concern for me cause im 5'9, 160 lbs. i dunno if i'll be able to handle the 500lbs of the gs750e,but i like its power.
