    Kawasaki Vulcan 500 as a first bike?

    I'm 22 and I've been looking at getting a first bike for quite a while now. I've driven a jeep wrangler for 3 years and have grown to love the open air experience. Is the Vulcan a good beginner bike and a good bike in general? The problem is that I don't really have any experience with driving motorized bikes, I've only ever driven a moped around my grandpa's farm. What are some ways I could go about gaining experience to ride a bike like the Vulcan?
    Well I would be using it to make trips about 60 miles on the weekends to my home-town, but the interstate highways around here in Kansas aren't really all that busy, it's not uncommon to drive with no other vehicles within a mile of you.

    Regarding the motorcycle safety courses, do they require you to bring your own bike or do they have bikes there for you to use?
