well i ve been going back and forth deciding if i should get a sports bike or a cruiser for my first bike listning to peoples opinions and doing some research i decided on the cruiser 2007 vulcan 900 brand new even though i was set on the sportsbike yahmaha fz6 lol what made me go with the cruiser was the price i got it for and the fact the the sportsbike i really wanted doesnt come out until january and i wanted to get some riding in  before the bad weather i hope i made the right choice    

The Vulcan 900 (Classic?  Custom) is a fine bike.  Make sure of the following:

1) You get the proper rider training, such as a MSF course;

2) Make sure you get a motorcycle endorsement on your driver's license;

3) Make sure you carry insurance;

4) Make sure you wear a full set of riding gear -- full face helmet, full gloves (NOT fingerless lest you end up that way), motorcycle jacket and riding pants, and motorcycle boots.  Since you saved so much on the price of the bike, don't cheap out on gear--get good quality stuff that fits you right.

5) Ride a lot and have fun.

thanks i have the first 3 things taken care of have to work on the gear  

Good choice of bike enjoy your ride...  

HI try these for your gear.. Jafrum leather and juillian leather distributors. The leather is good quality and inexpensive. No need to pay out the nose for you stuff. Check them out jafrum has helmets also..
Nice choice of bikes you will have lots of fun  Ride safe and often...scruffy...  

All motorcycles are good today; in fact bloody hard finding a bad one! different style of bikes for a different style of riding. I've just bought a Suzuki Bandit 1255s after 7 years of cruising around on my Kawasaki Nomad. miss the Nomad like crazy, but love the sports tourer because the handling is sharp and the power is phenominal. Think about overtaking.... DONE! Hit the brakes, whatch you don't go over them there bars, hit the twisties, hell lets turn round and do them again. But, a little bitty water appears in my eyes when I see a cruiser go throbbing by....Just enjoy your ride, no matter what your on!  

cambren,i think you are better off with a cruiser than a sports bike.especially if its youre first ride.  

Congratulations Cambren on your new bike very good choice good luck & be very observant out there .I also will be purchasing a cruiser possible a vulcan 2000.  

as long as you like the bike you made the right choice.  

>hope i made the right choice

Of course you didn't :-)

As you get used to riding, you'll find details on the bike, you wish were different. You'll soon be coveting several other bikes. This is normal. Finding the perfect bike is a never ending quest. Even people who build their own are not satisfied for very long.

I think if your on two wheels then you can't go wrong. I love to ride whatevers on two wheels.
