If you're getting a tourer then the two 500's would be ample. It all depends on how you want to ride.

I started with a VFR400 NC30 and I learnt more on that than my pals on the bigger 600 sports bikes, I could corner faster and was more confident on the limit.

If you're just using it as a mode of transport and the occasional squirt down the A roads then go with the bigger Engine bikes, they'll feel super fast at first but after a couple of months you'll be wanting more power.

Compared to the CB500's you'll (probably) be learning on they are light years apart and a darn site quicker.
Even going to the VFR from the CB500 felt like I'd jumped on a rocket ship.

Good luck and have fun!
