Buying used EX500 need advice
 

hello Im a new rider and looking for a used bike to hone my skills. Found this post http://honolulu.craigslist.org/oah/mcy/616469195.html
Hoping you guys can tell me if its worth buying. I haven't seen it personally, im meeting the person later this afternoon.

It looks very promising. (The infant son and the lack of tattoos, facial piercings, etc. in the photo are a nice touch.)
Don't get too excited until you've seen it in person and taken it for a test ride.
If you have any friends who can do their own valve adjustment, bring them along.
It looks a little rusty, but I'd buy a rusty bike from a new father before I'd buy a pristine bike from a dipship with tattoos, multiple facial piercings, and one of those little fake mohawks stuck to the top of his helmet.
Good luck and keep us abreast!

Gratulations and good luck with that new baby.
Solid riding gear is easily worth its weight in gold. I'd skimp on my motorcycle (or even on birth control) before I'd cheap out on a good helmet, boots & gloves.
Have fun & good luck,
