Also good luck trying to keep up on the freeway with a 250 cruiser. Its nothing like a 250 ninja for instance.

edit: The rebel is usually the bike the MSF class has for everyone to learn on. So take that if you want a free test ride, and youll see what im talking about!
It's also what all the delivery guys ride around town out here. They really aren't bad bikes, you're right about the size though. I'm looking at the Honda Shadow Spirit myself, seems like a solid bike.
