The Vulcan 500 is fairly inexpensive. the Vstar 650's are nice as well. same goes with the Honda Shadows. I can only suggest ones that Ive seen though, lacking dealerships here...

Welcome to the Forum, you'll get alot of good stuff out of it.

First of all..... :welcome:

Second, Have you checked out the Beginner's Guide? There are also stickies and the Learn To Ride A Motorcycle page which is now downloadable in PDF format (Created and maintained by Dragonhawk).

Third, I also recommend an MSF course and reviewing your state’s (province’s/territory’s) DMV or DOT website for licensing information, guidelines and FAQ.

Fourth, Go to a variety of dealers and sit on all kinds of different motorcycles. Even if you don’t think you’d like the ride when you look at it. I was dead set on one riding style when I started and ended up buying a different type. You may surprise yourself as well.

Fifth, If you have any questions about the Boulevard S50, I may be able to help you out with those. I bought mine about 2 months ago as my first bike.

Sixth, Good Luck, Have Fun and Stay Safe Out There! I hope you enjoy this site! Be sure to...:spreadtheword:
