Won't happen unless you get a 250. There's plenty demand for 500's due to the fact they're great for beginners. Just because they're great for beginners doesn't mean they're slow. Speed is relative. The 500 will go faster than most cars on the street and will handle better than bigger bikes especially for a beginner. Once you get to the point of dragging pegs on a regular basis, then would be a good time to upgrade. Until then, save your money and get some good gear.
