By new rider I mean one who never have operated a bike before. The GS 500F is perfect for you. It handles great, has great power for it's engine size, and is very forgiving of rider mistakes. I've been told that the GS 500F may have start up problems during cold weather, but mine have started up every time...even in close to 20 degree weather. The handlbar position works well for both long trips and twisty roads. So if you're a brand new rider, this bike is definitely great for you to learn and enhance you riding skills.
