Gratulations on the new ride. I can think of only 3 reasons to keep the 500, but they admittedly might not apply to you:
1.) The high position of the 919's undertail exhaust is regarded by some as unsuitable for carrying passengers. By some fluke of aerodynamics, (and anyone who has heard the phrase "chaos theory" will indeed acknowledge that aerodynamics is indeed the flukiest of sciences) some passengers consider the 919 stinky, and some even consider the inhalation of carbon-monoxide "harmful." Therefore keeping the 500 will provide a non-stinky/non-lethal alternative passenger bike.
2.) The 500 makes a perfect bike for your wife/girlfriend, and while it's technically still registered in your name, she'll still brag to her girlfriends about how you bought and maintain this bike just for her (nevermind how much you actually get to ride it.)
2.5.) Having a wife/gf who is also a rider is one of the greatest blessings a man can attain in this life.
3.) The 500 makes a perfect bike for forum friends who are visiting you from out of town.
Gratulations on the new bike!

AHHHHMEN to 2.5. I met this girl at my school and she rides a R6. I'm in love my friends. I'm trying every attempt just to get a digit.

Well it's been a while since i posted...But i finally sold the 500r. Sold her about 2 weeks ago, and i have already looked a few times on ebay for a 500, LoL.
I think maybe a track bike? Who knows.

Before you think track bike for the EX500, double check your organizations classes. Good chance since you are running a twin, you will be playing with the SV650's. And that would not be a fun time.
