Congrats on being street legal.

It can't be stated enough times, rent each bike and then some! Take each rental to a parking lot and relax. Practice until you feel confident and then take it on the road. Each bike will feel different.

I would ride a dyna, a softail, and a V rod. I would stay away from a touring bike since you're new to riding.

Have fun, welcome to the club!

After you finally decide which bike and have been riding for 6 months or so....go take an advanced course on your bike. It is not for your license, but for your safety. It was a skosh harder to pass on a FLHRCI than on that little honda 250, but I really felt good that I could handle a full size bike that well.
