20 Years old, should I get a sportsbike or a cruiser (low budget)?

If you're experienced you won't need a whole hell of a lot of power for YOUR safety. I will agree that a cruiser is better for attracting the females, or seems to be. (my gray hair doesn't do it though) I can safely say that the sports bikes seem to be a heck of a lot cheaper than cruisers in the used bikes. You can find them for 2700.00 but I don't know what shape they're in. For MY money it would be a cruiser any day!
