I got handed a 1982 Yamaha XS650, great cruiser, but hate to just say cruiser because it is smaller and tighter than a traditional cruiser, and its a blast. Its a twin, not a V twin, just a twin and its awesome. its my first bike and I love it, plenty of power before I get the YZF600r a year down the road. Anyway, they can be had for around 700 or so. Great bike.
