Oh, of course. I don't intend to buy the bike and do nothing but wheelies and stoppies with it. I do genuinely want to learn how to ride properly before I get into anything serious and/or stupid - I'd probably be looking at a different bike otherwise.

GS500s are pretty hard to come by from where I've searched, in my price range - down here in Toronto, too. The cheapest one I've seen was $3400CDN. I was taking a look at some EX500s even though I'd really prefer a GS500. I've been told though, that the end of Summer is prime for picking up a good used bike for cheap, is that true?

Thanks for your help, Louis.
