Answer 3

it all depends on what you want to do with it.  for cruising, try the honda shaddow.

Answer 4

I think it's a good idea to learn to ride on the style of bike you want to be riding long term.  If you like cruisers, get a cruiser.  If you like sport bikes, get a sport bike.

People tend to think smaller engine bikes are better for beginners and while I agree to a certain extent, it is also important to get something you won't outgrow too quickly.  You can always take it slow on a strong bike but it's harder to make a slow bike faster.

I started on a dual sport Kawasaki KLR650 - it's a very versatile bike.  It can handle highway speeds without a problem but it is at home on trails too.  It's built to last and pretty easy to maintain.

Answer 5

Hey Carlos,

I would suggest the Suzuki GS500f or the Kawasaki Ninja 500.  You can pick up the 2006's at great prices since most dealers are trying to clear their showroom floors for the 2007 summer.   Just make sure you have taken a Motorcycle Riders Safety Course and get your Motorcycle license.  Good Luck.  Hope this helps.  =  )
