My husband and I have been looking into getting a motorcycle for some time now. We have not had any realistic goals due to money constraints, but are looking into it more seriously now (including the MSF course) and need some advice.

We have been getting conflicting info on what we should get as our first bike. We know we want a cruiser. Here’s the situation:
1.) Dont have a lot of cash.
2.) Want a bike we can ride together (2 riders)
3.) We want one we can (and have to) get onto highways to do 60 mph minimum. (Rural area and highways are the only ways to get from place to place out here)
4.) We eventually want to go longer distances – 200 miles+.
5.) Dont have a lot of $$ to plunk down on a beginner bike.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
You can contact us at [email protected] as well – may be more likely to check that.
THANKS ALL!!!

Vstar 650 in a bagged version would probly be minimal entry level for that.

Pretty much any bike capable of doing two-up comfortably on the highway for extended periods is a bad beginner bike. They’re too big and heavy for first timers. Not only that but it would be a very very VERY bad idea for him to have a passenger on the back when he’s still a beginner himself. I would advise that he wait a year after starting out himself before you start getting on the back. It adds a whole new challenge to riding that is simply not wise for a beginner to take on.
