    IM a cruiser guy my self (2000 Yamah V-Star) but none the less congrats on the new ride.

    I STRONGLY second the advise to take a rideing course. I did mine early last year and it was pretty confidence building and really help point out what the bikes can doo. I actually had a BLAST during the course. They suplied the bikes (Little 125cc dirt bikes and a handfull of small cruisers). I took the cruiser and although it was SEVERLY underpowered it was a blast to scout around with. The instructors had my draggin pegs befor i new it.

        agreed all of that is true and also the bonus is usually(it did with mine) you get one hell of a discount on your bike insurance

            what are the general HP ratings of these bikes?

            I have been rebuilding a old kz650 (1977C1) i think shes rated at an outstanding 63hp. Not an impressive number; but a fun project none the less!

            nice ride!

                I think a 600 sport bike generally has around 85 hp, more for the performance ones. The 1000 bikes have upwards of 165 hp I'm pretty sure they say the new R1 has 183 horses. That's pretty impressive for something that weighs in around 400 lbs.

                I've got an old KZ550 that I learned on, that bike was great. It was in awesome shape. Just sold it to a friend to learn on.
