Have you taken an MSF class?
Haven't decided yet. I'd like to keep it under 6 grand if possible. But getting a bike I can live with is more important than the price.Originally posted by: Zim Hosein

vulcans are great bikes.. i say take the LTD500/Vulcan 500.. same engine as the Ninja500R.. but in a cruiser form.
I like the Vulcan 750, but I am an experienced rider, and the 750 might be a bit too much power - even if its in a cruiser form. Some day i will get the Vulcan 750, my friends 750 felt oh so comfy when i rode it.

Why do people always say that you should buy a slower bike for your first bike? When I was about 12, I got a YZ80, and I can remember the salesman at the dealership talking about how it might be too fast for me. The first time I got on the bike, it didn't take off and smack me into a tree at 50 mph. The bike came with an adjustable throttle that allowed me to go as fast as I was comfortable going.
The way I see it, someone that isn't responsible enough to ride within their limits shouldn't be on a motorcycle in the first place.
