Hello all,

I am purchasing my first bike and as I don't have much knowledge of extensive maintenance & insurance I wanted to know what experiences you all had in this.

Im hoping to hit these checkmarks.

  • cruiser
  • reliable
  • parts are cheap and available even 3rd party
  • insurance is reasonable for the bike.
  • easy to maintain for newbie starting out.

I was going to go for a honda but figured to ask others their experience as they were starting out and what they have learned. Under 500 cc I believe is a good starting point, I am not trying to launch into space but if you got a reason why that shouldn't matter let me know.

I dig the styling and pricing of those REs, but my mechanic warned me that getting parts from India can be tricky or take a long time.

Very solid point. I'm thinking about getting my first motorcycle soonish, and I hadn't thought about that part. Thanks!
