I won't repeat a lot of whats below, At one time I read a magazine review of beginner bikes, and the Kawasaki ES 500 cruiser won that comparison. I look at that briefly when I first went shoppin but I quickly got focused on Suzuki S50 and Kawasaki 750 which are considered to be sportier performance versions of cruisers. Then as it turned out I went and got Suzuki M50 (much the same as C50). A lot of folks might say that they are a bit too big for beginner bikes, but I have to tell you that I had never rode a bike before, except for MSF course, I rode the M50.
I did'nt have any problem. For a smaller, less powerful Suzuki cruiser look at S40., but the ES 500 may be the best of that size.

I have some questions about the bikes' prices. I'm convinced that I will buy a used bike. Is there a motorcycle rental? If yes, how much per month?

I'm mostly shifting towards the Suzuki GS500F. But the kawasaki ninja is good too..

there are a few places here and there that rent bikes. Not to many around where i live. Just check the yellow pages and online cant give ya much more info on that


buying used is a smart choice for a first bike
