Default undecided newbie

I need help deciding. Im taking my MSF course next weekend and I'm itching to get out there after 23 years.My problem is I've got my bikes down to two choices.Anew kawasaki 900LT out the door for $9280 before negotiating or a 2005 springer classic for 16K,taxes and tags already paid for.The springer is $6700 more than the kawa but still 3/4k less than new. Any opinions greatly appreciated

thanks, Jim
