Hi, I am looking to get my first motorcycle very soon but have no experience with motorcycles. I'm a male 5'10" 225 age 25. I plan on using it to commute when weather permits and of course to ride around for pleasure. From what I've read anything below 500cc probably is too small for me.

I'm looking for a cruiser style not a pocket rocket. These are the bikes I'm choosing from atm. Harley Davison Sportster, Suzuki Boulevard S50, Yamaha V Star Classic, Suzuki Boulevard S40, and Kawasaki Vulcan 500. All 2008/2009.

The Suzuki Boulevard S40 has 652cc and is MSRP 4,899.00. (from local dealer's site in my area) Making it the most affordable on list but still with some muscle. With no experience or real knowledge about bikes was wanting some input on if this would be a good starting bike to learn with but still be enjoyable to ride in a year.

I can afford any of the bikes on the list and your input is much appreciated.
