I'm getting New Bike Feedback please!

[cyork]

Hi everyone - first post to the site I am 36 and have been out of riding for over 10 years. I started riding at 8 on dirt bikes and had one sport bike a CBR 600 for a year. When I moved the bike was sold. I'm enrolled in a riders class in September for 3 days and will have my motorcycle license again. I am interested in a sport cruiser and my current list of interest is the following.

Kawasaki Mean Streak
Kawa 900 custom
Yamaha Warrior
Yama V star 1300

Considering I havent ridden in so long should I even consider the Mean Streak and Warrior at this time? These are my two top choices at this point but I continuing my research first.

I'll be riding about 1 day a week to work 25 mile round trip and 100 miles maybe 200 on nice weekends. Thoughts on any of these bikes and experiences would be appreciated.
Thanks

1 word. Weight. Your looking at a whole new ballgame there.

Are those sport cruisers?

[Wrider]

Nah Sev, called "Performance Cruisers" Also, yeah, the Warrior and Mean Streak are probably a bit outta your league if you've been outta the game for 10 years. Keep in mind that the power/cc ratio has increased dramatically since then too. 1300 might be a little bigger than you want, but the 900 shouldn't be a problem for you!

Thanks - my terminology is off but what I like about the warrior and meanstreak is they have an aggressive look and body style. The V Star 1300 and Kawasaki Vulcan 900 I beleive are more standard cruisers. Do you have thoughts on these bikes?

[MrGompers]

The warrior is the most powerful bike on that list. I would scratch that one off. The other 3 are good choices.

The Vulcan 900 would probably be the best choice for a re-entry rider since it is the lightest of the bunch you mentioned.
