Hello all. First post here. On Friday I put a deposit a 2004 EX500 with 10,000 km from a dealer. Silver with orange decals. 3 cosmetic-only scratches on the plastic, but none on metal. The bike looks to be in good shape - dealer replaced the rear tire, changed the oil, inspected brakes, etc, and has done the mandatory safety inspection. Since it is too cold (for normal people) to ride in the winter in Ontario, the dealer extended their normal 3 month warranty until June 30, 2008.
This is my 4th bike, but I sold the last one 25 years ago, so I am pretty much a novice. In October I completed my motorcycle training course, and the EX500 seems like an appropriate bike for me at this stage.
