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.
If you want to do new maybe look at Ryal Enfield. The Interceptor 650 is a standard motorcycle which seems pretty good. They also have a Meteor 350 cruiser and the super meteor 650 cruiser. I have no personal experience on any but I've read and seen good things. They also gave a 3year factory warranty with unlimited miles.
