Hey,

I've only driven a dirt bike twice in my life (and not very well) but I really like the style of cruisers. I've heard that a cruiser is not a good bike to learn on. Anyways, i'm trying to save up for a 500ltd because it seems easy to learn on and looks really good. Is this a reliable first bike? What is the best way to learn to ride one SAFELY and without dropping the bike? Also, i'm having a very difficult time trying to find a kawasaki dealer that actually carries a 500. Every time I go in and ask to look at one they say that they are sold out and they try to tell me that i'd be much happier on an 800. I know they just want my money =) Is there anyway to special order it online through kawasaki??? Thanks for any input.
