Motorcycle - what bike should I get?

I would recomend the 650cc v-star. It is large enough that it will comfortably cruise at 80mph. But, small enough for around town and friendly for the beginner. It is shaft drive for longevety and ease of maintenance. Has ceramic cylinders so it also does well with the heat in parades should you ever do that. Should last 200,000 miles with valve jobs, oil changes, brakes, tires. dependable transportation and epa rated at 49mpg. Low on insurance too. Check it out at progressive.com
