I used to ride around with my friend on his property on his dirt bikes once in a while when i was a young teen (34 now) so not completely green but will be my first time owning a bike. Since I've moved to the south and the nicer weather most of the year, the bike bug bit me again (bad) I want one now. I'm just looking to tool around town, no highway 45-50 mph is as high the speed limits get where I'd be cruisin.
I'm looking at the vulcan 500, shadow vt600, rebel 500, v star 650, ls650.
Every brand (car bike etc) usually has some parts costs that are obnoxious and that's what I'm having trouble finding out. All I can find is tires, belts/chains are expensive and I already knew that. I do most maintenance repair on my vette and truck so I'm handy enough to work on a bike myself.
I'm also open to other models/suggestions to look at, those mentioned seem as the better options/not too much bike for me and not too crazy heavy if I did drop it. 2500 is the very tip top of what I want to spend not including gear.
