If you've never ridden, look into a motorcycle safety course. They can help you learn about riding and give you good tips and advice on how to ride. That way you don't start with bad habits. Some courses like at the Harley dealer near me they will supply the bike. Always nice if you drop it to be theirs and now your own. 馃き
What style of bike do you like? A traditional cruiser, or a sport bike, adventure? They're all very different in style and riding. You're location will also make some difference.
Personally I'd look for a bit smaller inexpensive machine first to see if you really enjoy riding. Then move up when your more comfortable. I learned to ride when I was 12/13 as we lived in the country. I had a 175cc enduro (smaller but similar to an adventure bike today) and then moved up to a 400cc street bike then a 750. I sold the 750 when kids and life came along. About 7 years ago I wanted to get back to two wheels. I picked up a cheap 550cc to see if I still enjoyed it as much as I thought before dropping $$ on something nicer. I found I did still enjoy it (even more now than then). I looked at Harleys because I wanted a cruiser and like the appearance. But I had a hard time with the price given that the riding season here is generally only 6 months if you're lucky. I found a Yamaha cruiser for 1/3 of the price of a Harley and it gives me just as many smiles while rolling down the road. Good luck and make sure to invest in protective gear. The life you save may just be your own.
