Hell yeah, love the info. So if I understand it correctly now, cruisers are the sons of anarchy kind of bikes, and sport bikes are the leaned forward racing looking ones, and naked bikes look to be somewhere in between?

That being said I think I'm really excited about the cruisers

Yeah, although naked bikes usually look a bit more like sportbikes (they were originally sportbikes without fairings, hence the term naked bike) than cruisers.

Honda also makes the Rebel cruiser bike, but they look less like a "sons of anarchy" kind of bike than the Shadow or the Fury, although I wouldn't recommend starting on a bike as big as the Fury.

I just searched all 3 of those and I see what you mean about the Rebel.

I can see myself enjoying any of those 3 bikes, this is awesome

A Rebel 300 or 500 makes a great beginner bike!

Also, don't be afraid to look at the used market for other metric cruiser bikes, they're plentiful and cheap. The 4 main companies are Honda, Yamaha, Kawasaki, and Suzuki. Heck, I started on a metric cruiser, the Suzuki GZ250. It was kinda slow though, I'd recommend something with a bit more power than that.
