    Yeah, although naked bikes usually look a bit more like sportbikes (they were originally sportbikes without fairings, hence the term naked bike) than cruisers.

    Honda also makes the Rebel cruiser bike, but they look less like a “sons of anarchy” kind of bike than the Shadow or the Fury, although I wouldn’t recommend starting on a bike as big as the Fury.

      I just searched all 3 of those and I see what you mean about the Rebel.

      I can see myself enjoying any of those 3 bikes, this is awesome

        A Rebel 300 or 500 makes a great beginner bike!

        Also, don’t be afraid to look at the used market for other metric cruiser bikes, they’re plentiful and cheap. The 4 main companies are Honda, Yamaha, Kawasaki, and Suzuki. Heck, I started on a metric cruiser, the Suzuki GZ250. It was kinda slow though, I’d recommend something with a bit more power than that.
