This question may have been posted already but I haven't been able to find any real reference to it so I'll ask here. In your opinion, is the difference between the first gen bikes and the second gen bikes worth the difference in price? I have found several for sale in my area that are first gen for $1200 and less, some times much less. The second gen bikes seem to be a bit higher in price. Does the disk brake rear and shorter transmission casing make enough difference to make them worth the price difference? I want a bike that I can ride back and forth to work, toss into some twisties on the weekends that won't cost a lot for the initial outlay. I also decided that I wanted a twin because I got sick of working on a set of four carbs. Two cylinders, half the maintenance, that was how I came to the 500. Any input from people who have ridden both would be appreciated.
Thanks
Jeremiah
