You've gotten some really good advice so far but I'll add mine.
Take a riders course. It is worth every penny to a new rider.
You will really learn a lot. Your first bike should not be a big
one. Trust me, the little 250cc or equivalent machine that you
will learn on in the riders course is nothing like an 800lb roadbike.
Don't buy a new or expensive bike until you know that you really
like to ride. Buying a $15,000 road hog only to discover that it hurts
your back or that you just really don't enjoy it doesn't make sense.
Ride on a smaller used machine until you get an idea of what kind of rider you really are. Don't get hung up on Harley's. They are beautiful.
and quality rides but there are a lot of other choices. You may find out
that a midsize tourer is more your speed. I have a 1500 Vulcan that
I seldom ride and a KLR650 that gets ridden even in the winter. Find
what YOU like and explore that avenue. Oh yeah, wear your gear. Ever seen someone who dumped it on hot asphalt while wearing shorts, t-shirt and flip flops? You don't want to be that guy.
I'd stick with a 750cc cruiser for a first one. Powerful enough that you won't get bored with it too soon but not ridiculously fast either. Good luck and don't be afraid to ask advice from experienced riders. They can save you some money and maybe even a little skin.
