Motorcycle help please?

The 500 Vulcans no longer made anymore unless you're planning on buying one of the used ones from a shop that teaches the MSF course. Take a look at the Honda's. They are nice bikes. Of course Harleys are nice as well. They make many bikes between 650-900cc. It may sound intimidating but as long as you take it easy it shouldn't be a problem. Before you buy a bike you really should take the safety course.
