cruiser saddle bags For a first bike, which would be better, Honda vt600, or the 2008 Ninja 250r?
I really like the look of the cruisers, but I'm thinking they might be a little too heavy and not nimble enough to allow for mistakes I may make as a begginer. The thing that gets me about sports bikes is no decent saddle bags (or am i wrong on that).
The VT600. They are light, sit low, handle well and are completely reliable. If you decide you want to ride for a couple hundred miles the Shadow wouldn't beat you up.

Secure It! Tip of the Week from Cruiser Customizing by Manybikes
Help me make up my mind!?
So I'm on the fence about my next bike. I have a sport bike now, (Suzuki SV1000S with lots of mods) And I’m looking for something that is a lot more passenger friendly, has good, large saddle bags for holding my laptop (I plan to commute with the bike to work) is shaft / belt drive and under $14,000. I'm torn in two directions, a touring cruiser (not full dresser), or a sport tourer. On the sport touring side, I like the Kawasaki Concours 14, or the Yamaha FJR. On the cruiser side, I like the Yamaha VStar 1300 tourer, or I found a year old Star Stratoliner for around $14K. Thoughts? I looked at the Royal Star, however its carburated, and being I've been spoiled with a FI bike for awhile, I don't really want to go back. Yes dear, it has crossed my mind
Since you ruled out full dressers, you might look at the Yamaha Royal Star Tour Deluxe. Good looks, removable windshield, reasonable saddlebag size, water cooled, shaft drive, 97hp, lots of aftermarket support, and 5 year warranty...they come in around 14K, less if you look for bargains/discounts.
