i know what you mean. i normally wouldnt have been speeding but i got a call my ex was at my apartment going buck wild so i was in a bit of a hurry. you are right though, if someone gets one ticket after the other, it kinda makes you wonder

if you are wanting a cruiser check out the honda rebel 250, its performance is on a par with the average car and it will do highway speed.

a 500 is faster than most cars but forgiving enough for most new riders, this is the most commonly recommended choice for a new rider.

the Kawasaki vulcan 500 would be a good choice for a first cruiser.

a 250 will likely be cheaper to insure.

look for a used bike and dont finance it. an older bike will be cheaper to insure especially if you only have to carry liability on it.

my 500 costs me $84 a year to insure and im 27 with no tickets and one accident.
