The Honda CB250 is as bulletproof a design as can be found in motorcycles. It hasn't changed in decades. It gets ~70 mpg and you can take it on the highway, not the interstate mind you.

I just gave mine to a friend who is short and fat and she can ride it fine.

+1 to the MSF course if you haven't ridden a bike. It helps the insurance or so I'm told.

My '04 Shadow 750 gets 45+ on the interstate at ~80 mph and I pay $170 a year for full coverage, roadside service, theft, accessories, collision and all that.

The mid-size cruiser market is the fastest growing market in bikes right now.
