What you said is pretty much what I said all along. You need to adjust your riding style to accommodate the different handling......as much as possible.
I would never consider doing it because there are times where fractions of an inch makes all the difference between just cleaning out your skivvies and taking an ambulance ride.
Also there are real MC tires that get better mileage than "average"; sometimes they are the cheaper ones too.
I got no real problem doing it on a big touring bike but on something like your "little" 500 I just can't see it. To each his own though.
