I would also wait till after the course. It’s the only sensible thing to do, unless you are okay spending thousands on something you may never use. Not sure if you are planning buying new or used but I think buying your first bike without an experienced rider to help you is hard, especially going the used route. Having your license at least helps. I would also take course with an open mind as to what type of bike is for you. You may like the image of cruisers but find them uncomfortable to ride. Everyone is different. Personally I could not make up my mind what style of bike I wanted at first. In the end buying convenience had a lot to do what I bought.
