Buying first bike (lemmy.ml)

Hello all,

I am purchasing my first bike and as I don't have much knowledge of extensive maintenance & insurance I wanted to know what experiences you all had in this.

Im hoping to hit these checkmarks.

cruiser
reliable
parts are cheap and available even 3rd party
insurance is reasonable for the bike.
easy to maintain for newbie starting out.

I was going to go for a honda but figured to ask others their experience as they were starting out and what they have learned. Under 500 cc I believe is a good starting point, I am not trying to launch into space but if you got a reason why that shouldn't matter let me know.

Very solid point. I'm thinking about getting my first motorcycle soonish, and I hadn't thought about that part. Thanks!
