I am looking to maybe buy a Suzuki GS500 and was wondering what the difference between a K6 and K7 model, I can get a K6 £400 cheaper new.

Thanks in advance.

You're making a terrible mistake, buying a new GS500 Smile

Thanks for the advice. I liked the look and the price but was concerned about corrosion. I can repair most things myself as I am an engineer by trade.
After thinking about it I will probably go for a second hand better bike.
I was just gonna get a 125 then thought I would probably hate it after a couple of month, I dont want a thirsty expensive to insure flying machine as I am too old for all that lol.

I would recomend a CBF600, I had one as a hire bike and loved it.

The GS is very small and most things on it are crap, it is a 20 year old design which they haven't change much (mechanically) in that time.

Decided to look at a used cheaper bike. I dont really want to go above 500cc as its big enough and powerful enough for me. Honda seems like a nice bike but if its anything like their cars then parts must be expensive. I have been looking at a Kawasaki er5, cheap to buy, run and insure. Rust should not be a problem as it will be fairweather use only and garaged, I also have plenty time to keep it clean etc.

I was also toying with the idea of a Yamaha Virago as I like the cruiser type bikes and they seem to hold their money so not a bad investment either.

According to reputation:

It's a Honda, who cares if the parts are expensive, you won't ever need to replace anything.
