Thanks for all the input everyone. I've got every intention to take the motorcycle safety course, I think its money well spent! Yeah the only reasone I even was looking at the harley sportsters was because of how cheap they were going, but now I understand why. I never really cared for them, I've always liked (some of the) Dyna, Softail, and VRSC lines. I'm not trying to spend a lot on my first bike, like most of you said...it'll hit the ground at some point. These are the 3 bikes that have really caught my eye
2007 Suzuki Boulevard c50 se limited edition Cruiser
2001 Yamaha V-star 1100 custom Cruiser Motorcycle
1994 YAMAHA VIRAGO 1100
Based on looks I like the Suzuki the most...but I know the Yamaha's are great cruisers. Anything I should know about that model Boulevard?
