I had only been a passanger on a bike until I took the MSF course on a 250 Rebel. I bought a Vulcan 500 on July 10 2008. You will be able to keep up with your friends. I have nothing to compare it to but I don’t need to. I am short (5’5″) and 165 lbs and this bike is great to me. I can flat foot, it feels light (felt a little heavy at forst since I learned on a Rebel) and the MPG is great. I kinda thought it might have been better to get a sport bike for leaning into the wind but with the addition of a small windshield it all works just fine. Let me know if you have any specific questions.
Keep Rockin!
