OK, to make a long story short, I don't have a bike right now (which would explain why I'm looking at buying one and asking for other people's opinions), and I came to that conclusion by dumping a 500GSE while in the midst of doing something insanely stupid that I felt was perfectly capable of doing (i.e. - jumping railroad tracks... I know, not real bright). The bike wedged itself under the front of an Oldsmobile, and I got a free trip to the ER. That was a while ago. I've ridden a few times since, and grown up plenty. Since then I've developed a much higher regard to what could precipitate from too much confidence and not enough respect, if you know what I mean...
So that's the story...
