What is the best starter cruiser motorcycle?

I want a cruiser type motorcycle and I want a 650 or 600, what are some good starter motorcycles that are cruisers?




Broke my tib/fib (multiple breaks) on June 2nd (rods and screws put in). Those working in the emergency room called it an "interesting break" while my surgeon referred to it as a "goodie" (all very reassuring to a frightened teenager). I have been working very hard in physical therapy for the past month. My ROM in my ankle and knee has almost returned to normal. I am currently WBAT but my OS told me to stay on crutches for at least another month. When I went for an x-ray last week it revealed that my one major break had shown signs of healing but that the bone was a far way from being considered "healed." I was scheduled to begin my first semester of college this Wednesday. This is proving to be a daunting prospect, however, as my leg does not seem ready for this type of action. If I sit with my leg on the ground (rather than elevated) for more than 20 minutes my leg changes to a dark purple color and I feel a great deal of pain. As I am unable to walk for more than a few minutes without extraordinary pain I was planning to use some sort of wheelchair or motorized scooter for college (which also cause me a great deal of pain). Some family members have suggested that I wait a semester to start school in order to give myself time to get back on my feet. After speaking with school officials, I have been guaranteed that I will not lose my full scholarship if I defer my entrance until the Spring.. Also, I feel as though missing my first semester would cost me many opportunities to make new friends. Here is my dilemna: My heart wants nothing more than to get up and commute to school and to push myself for the first few weeks. My body, however, through pain and a general inability to keep my leg on the ground is telling me that I am not ready. I’m very stressed at the moment as I am not sure of how to make this very important decision. Any advice on what I should do?




I am looking for a used bike for college with good gas mileage and looks sporty. I don’t have my motorcycle license yet, so a beginner type bike would be nice as well. Any suggestions?




I’m very frugal. I always have been, I’ve saved nearly every penny I’ve made. When we eat out, I order the cheapest things I can eat (I’m Pescetarian), and I’ve never asked for much. Just a book here and there. For my birthday, I got a very special present, a motorized scooter! Another year, I got an electric keyboard! I LOVE playing piano. I’ve got to admit, I have it VERY good, and our family makes a good living. I could live FAR more luxuriously, and get anything I want. But I don’t want to. I feel bad spending money, and even if I didn’t I wouldn’t spend NEARLY as much as my sister, because I don’t want much.
My sister has NO guilt getting whatever she wants, spending hundreds of dollars a month on luxuries such as clothes, hanging out with friends money, and food. For her 16th birthday, she got a car for 40,000 DOLLARS. I cried, because I’m disgusted by her greed. She’s just never cared about money, she doesn’t know the value of a dollar. She thinks because she behaves: doesn’t drink, smoke, do drugs, have sex (which is rare, I admit) and makes good grades that she’s entitled to everything she wants. I also make phenomenal grades (Honors Classes: 96′s and up), but I still don’t ask for a lot. She drives into the school parking lot with the most expensive car on campus and doesn’t think much of it. I just don’t know what to do about it.
I’m 15, with a permit. We’ve been looking around for cars. Right now, I’m looking at a ,000 car, still pricy, but a lot better than 40k. I could have a better car, but I don’t want one. I could have better things, but I don’t care about materialistic things as much. Even though I don’t want these things, I can’t help but feel angry about the thousands upon thousands of dollars of inequality between me and my sister that I’ve known my entire life. I just don’t know what to do! I want to ask for help with my apartment instead later in life, but since it’s so uncommon, it would be out of the question.. help?

PS: I know, I’m VERY fortunate. I’m happy with my life and my things, but I’m unhappy with the inequality. I don’t want to buy more things to even it out. I want my sister to sell her things to even it out, and maybe give it to charity, or put it towards our college. I’m just tired of saving thousands of dollars with no appreciation..
-My family’s pretty messed up. My dad’s an alcoholic, and when he comes home drunk from work (he owns the place he works at, so he drinks as he pleases), he’s VIOLENT. He’s made my moms entire thigh a dark purple from lifting her up and throwing her on the ground. It’s strange, because my mom still goes back to him every single time, because she can’t let go (they were high school "sweethearts")
-My family’s wealthy. We drive cars that are above 65,000 at least, except for me and my sister. We live in a home that cost us nearly 1 million.
-I’ve done marijuana, and I still strongly support it, because I’ve done my research. So my mom knew about that, and threatened to start drug testing, so I quit. So that might have a little say.
-I’m pretty much the anti-version of my family. They’re conservative, I’m independent. They eat meats, I don’t. They’re christian, I’m agnostic. They’re straight, I’m gay. No, I’m not some punk that just wants to rebel. I do my research on everything and still




Alright, I wanna hear some really good arguments for getting the license and the motorcycle itself. I’m 16. My brother, who is 28, drives a motorcycle. My dad has always wanted to get his motorcycle license too, so maybe something regarding that? Show me your lawyer-side.




Yesterday, I was at walmart to buy some food for my house. I went to get a motorized scooter and a guy with a broken leg got there at the same time as me. We got into a verbal argument over who was there first.

I am 66 and my legs cannot support my body weight(I am 400lb) so I needed it more than he did. After an employee stepped in and he gave it to the guy with the broken leg.

I asked the guy why he did it and he said "If you got some damn exercise you wouldn’t need the wheel chair!"

Could I file a complaint?
DR. feelgood: Shut up I have a disease that causes me to be overweight and I am entitled to that scooter!




Im 14, and i know how to drive motorcycles, and i drive them on private land. when can i get my licence/permit to be able to drive a motorcycle to and from work?




I agreed to give my ex boyfriend another chance and we have been talking and saw each other twice. My terms for becoming exclusive again included things like get a job, get a licence, end poor friendships, and begin lowering his methadone dose to quit. I went to see him the first time because he convinced me to visit and see he’s living better ie: shave, clean room, new motorized scooter. The visit turned into a date watching a movie with his arm around me. The second time I went to see him was because he said he had a card for me, and he did. The visit ended with a short hot kiss. One of things he’d been doing to prove he was serious about us was ending contact with other girls.
He got mad during a conversation when I said I had no plans to take down my dating site profile, although had no one of interest on there, at least as of yet. Because I didn’t agree to take it down and become serious at repairing damage to our relationship (mainly telling my parents and accepting him for who he is) and consider us exclusive, he decided he no longer wanted to get us back.
He reclaimed contact with the other women and threatened to call the cops if I harass him, and may only contact him if I’m ready to be together according to his terms.
The other girls are the same girls I’ve been competing with since the begining. He calls one girl who he told was hot and asked out a "friend" and another who he’s been planning to move to and marry, "stupid."

I am wondering if motorcycle dealerships work like car dealerships. I’ve never owned or bought a new motorcycle. I am thinking of getting one and my girlfriend may buy a scooter as well. So, I wonder if people usually negotiate the prices on these when they buy new. Thanks!

MOPED vs. SCOOTER for an elderly man?

There is an elderly man who had a motorized bicycle (20 mph) for his sole transportation, and it is ready for the scrapheap. He was thinking of getting a car, and that scares me! Any suggestions or ideas?




I am looking for a motorcycle that will save me a lot of money, or the most amount of money as compared to driving a car… and i don’t want a moped.
I don’t want a scooter either. I need something that is highway worthy.




Little neighbor who is VERY annoying?

My next-door neighbor is only 8 years old, but she’s very annoying. Yesterday my friend and her sisters came over to hang out, my friend and I are teens, and one of her sisters is twelve and the other is ten. Well, just before her sisters pulled up (My friend and I wanted to hang out, just me and her) my neighbor pulled up on her scooter while my friend and I were playing the Wii. She saw us, and kept peeking through the window, making faces at us and laughing. My brother went outside and started to play with her, and my friend’s sisters pulled up a few minutes later. Afterwords we went outside to play, but she pulled up on her motorized scooter asking if we wanted to ride it. My Mom had specified that we could NOT ride it, and my friend’s Dad told her that they couldn’t ride it either. We were about to play basketball and she butted in asking if she could play. We said we were doing two on two, and we already had our teams. She offered to have my brother join in for three on three, but he said no. We tried to play, but the ball was too big for the hoop, so that was out. Many times before she’s done things like:
She turned on our water hose and threw water balloons at us, and my friends ended up going home wet in clothes they weren’t supposed to mess up.
My friends have had their feelings hurt because she called them "Fat" or said something else ugly.
She’s even pulled out an axe saying she would cut off our heads.
She just came over a second ago, asking to play, but I was not dressed, so I said not now. I wasn’t trying to hurt her feelings, but she just walked home crying. Now I feel sorry for her and guilty. I think she might hate me. I don’t have friends over, but I think it would be OK to play with her. She has gotten mad at me, but I never mean to hurt her feelings. How can I work this out?
