I agree, get the nightster, I had never been on a street bike before I went to the dealer and bought mine. Had to go to the dealer by myself so I trailered it home, but as soo as I got home I took a good ride on the street for the first time, no intruction, no rider courses just hopped in and tool off, not problems yet, but it did take a week or so to get up enough nerve to twist up full throttle in the lower gears though lol. I haven't stopped smiling since
