Default Hello from a new member

I haven't ridden in 20 + years (1985). Last bike was a 750F Honda sport bike. I have the bug bad to buy a Harley. I am doing lots or research on models and what would be my best bet. Price and riding comfort does matter. I not looking at a touring bike just a cruisers like a Sportster,Dyna maybe a Softtail. I would mostly be a weekend rider and possibly a commuter. My longest would be 50- 200 mile rides on twisty road with little freeway riding.
