I would go for the 500. Newer is almost always better not to mention the 500 has 19,000 less miles on it.

My first bike was a 2003 Ninja 500, brand new. It cost me 5,000 out the door and It was a wonderful starter bike. I only listed the price because I want you to know that you shouldn't always buy a cheap, junk bike as a starter. Junk bikes to learn on can sometimes make learning harder not to mention in some cases mechanically unsafe. Go for the 500.
