Cruiser Vs. Sportbike - Which is best to start on?

I find it funny that nearly all "best bikes" videos are with sports/racing bikes.
I am going to get my Mc-license soon, but I have to admit that getting on a race/sports bike is just not happening.
I dont need the speed, too old for that, so I want a good looking chopper instead.
Are there any cheap and affordable cruisers that you could give your opinion on? Or dont you have any experience on those bikes?
Sincerly, new subscriber.

I just started riding, and I have Suzuki Savage 650.

i think you should begin on what you plan on riding more

Great video! What bike are you on right now?

On a cruiser, at slow speed you need to work the back brake and slip the clutch while revving it a little bit. That way the engine acts as a gyroscope and stabilises the bike. The same is true of any bike though so the technique can be practised on a CBR125 for that matter. Takes away the wobbly factor.

are you living in Vancouver?

it's funny you say those to names.of bikes because when I was out first in the market for riding and looking at bikes I sat on both and fit be nice. yet I was told they were way to big for first bike. however I was told same thing about my 04 Suzuki Marauder 1600VZ and I love the bigger size now. we'll it will be a while before I can get a sports bike but I been wanting to ride one. thanks for feed back.

What camera are you using great video, I have actually started on a Marauder 1600 pretty powerful cruiser. However I am wanting to a sports bike now, I am 6ft and about 250 pounds any recommendations ? thanks

Good topic, I have been riding bikes for more than 15 years before i bought a road bike and I still started on a ninja 250!

This is a pretty funny video of a guy starting from a 300 then riding an r1
