Face it, most people learning to ride a bike will drop it. Getting a 550 lb 900 or a 770 lb Nomad (like I see regularly recomended), then adding 100+ lbs in accessories and chrome is just asking for trouble.

V-Star 650 Classic is 505 dry.
Honda Shadow VLX is 452 dry, but '07 was the last year for it. Next up is the Shadow Spirit 750 at 503 dry.
Only the Suzuki S40 and S50 remains under 500 pounds/over 500cc... but the C50 (true cruiser, the S50 is more of a "standard") is at 542.
Likewise, the Spirit and VLX are strippers... they carry the look of the Harley Dyna series, but lack bags, floorboards, etc...
I've dropped my 1600 3 times. No trouble lifting it. Using the proper technique, anyone can lift an 800 pound bike. The same technique SHOULD be used for a lighter bike or injury can result.
