Feb 13, 2014 · The 500 is not a 4-cyl 600 supersport ... the 500 should be fine as a first bike for a 220 lbs 6' person. It's actually only 471cc.

That was a full day out with plenty of time off the bike, but I had also ridden 330 miles a couple of times when visiting my dad with only petrol stops.
