Cruisers are different in the "cc" game, and I'd go so far as to say an 800cc cruiser could be considered a good starter bike, but of course it's relative to the operator. Congratulations on your new-to-you bike! They're beautiful little sporty cruisers!

My friend Sarah started on a Kawasaki 440cc cruiser last year, and she's already regretting not going with a bike a bit more capable of highway speeds.
