For either city or freeway work. It’s really a matter of your tastes at this point, which one feels/looks better to you. Most people tend to like the look of the Ninja better, though I personally like how the GS500 has somewhat retro looks (from the back, it looks like a sportbike from the 70s/80s).
The GS500f has more power due to the bigger displacement, but is of an older (if quite competent) design.
Ninja 250 looks more like a modern sportbike…most non-riders will have no idea it’s not a supersport. Handling on the Ninja is rumored to be better.
Oh, and Madjak, thanks for posting that….I read it back when I was first getting into riding, and couldn’t find it again later.
