You need time with twins if you think gs500 has low-end torque.

the first bike i learned on was a TL1000S soo...that is not true...for most people, i think they would get themselves killed on that bike.

Compared to the Sherpa, it surely did! :D

Go early on Saturday, ask them if you can ride it.

Make sure you sign up for the Class 6 refresher course for 50 bucks or something... it's worth it and will save you the time.
