An itch that needs scratchin'

While I've always been a big fan of automotive design, lately I've been taking a lot of time to take a good look at motorcycles. My closet passion for bikes has taken on a frenzy as of late, and I'm to the point where I've actually researched classes and am prepared to sign up when dates are announced. Now, that leaves me with one problem... once my course is over, I'll have no bike.

Ahh, the fun begins.

I absolutely see no point in purchasing a crotch rocket nor anything as burly as a Road King.

So where am I leaning? Somewhere towards the smaller cruisers actually. If I had the money, I'd probably just buy a nice Sporster 883 Custom. I like the lines, the classic styling and the midrange power of the bike.

I'm not going to pretend that I don't see myself tearing up the road at some point or another, but for this particular ride, I'm looking to slow down, feel some wind against my skin and think about nothing but the open road and engine noise.
