Im glad you brought up the v-star 650. My friend was looking at one of those for a while, Ill tell him to avoid them.

Im still torn but in a different way now. I like the storage and comfort on the big boy scooters but I like the "fun-ness" if you will on the sport bikes. My step-dad just gave me his xt225, so I wont need a smaller bike for fuel economy. Im now thinking one of the 600's-750's sport bikes. The ducati 749 is unique and amazing but really agressive I hear and the cbr600rr is more comfortable but extremely common. Power wise.... I dont really care, they are all over 100hp at that size and honestly I wish they made more 400-500 sport bikes that are newer for that reason. A 400 lb bike with me only weighing 145-150 full gear and 100hp is too much...

I think Im going to find a dealer who sells the scooters your talking about as well as sportbikes and cruisers and just start test riding.

And thanks for all the info and input guys.
