I fucking love motorcycles. I heard you were interested in motorcycles, too.
Please don't buy a cruiser. They aren't really very comfortable and utilize ancient technology. I strongly encourage you to consider a dual sport motorcycle - they may not be pretty, but they'll get you there just as good, they're cheap, and easy to maintain.
Also - I recommend reading "proficient motorcycling" by David Hough

a cruiser is like a trophy wife.
if you're into polishing and showing it off, then a cruiser is for you.
if you're into riding, then i suggest you figure out just what type of riding you're into and figure it out from there.
commuting? long distance? adventure? trials?
burning gas and looking cool? (then buy a cruiser)
