Comfortable riding position - good power (103HO) - handles well - 6 speed - ABS - stock exhaust sounds phenomenal - Looks speak for themselves. My first bike was a KZ1000...I love all bikes. I love Harley's more.
A friend has a wide glide or street glide or some other version or a slow Harley. He use to ride in front of me or else I would look back and he wouldn't be in sight. Riding with him was like sitting through a church sermon. I've never been on a ride I can remember when a HD was involved and everyone enjoyed it.

To each their own but I just don't see the appeal.
I'd sacrifice a bit of comfort for enjoyment all day. Those things are the Lincoln Town cars of motorcycles

It's just a different style of riding. I had my crotch rocket days, cruisers are just that, made for cruising. Slowing down and enjoy the scenery, not about who gets there first. I have had more enjoyable rides on my Harley than I had on my CBR. Not bashing either one, sport bikes are a hell of a good time, but that doesn't mean someone else can't have a good time just cruising along.
Also don't let them fool you, some cruisers even the touring bikes move out and handle pretty well for what they are. You can still have a great time running them hard and carving some corners.
This is my first bike. It was a used Yamaha V-Star 1100.

I've seen a few others of the same model for similar prices not too far from me too. Seems like a pretty tame bike that's not crazy powerful and is light. Great gas mileage. This one isn't too old and has low miles

Holy bad advice in here batman
I would start on a 600, as stated earlier, if you get a lil bitch bike, you'll have it back up for sale in a week or two after you've learned to manuever, and dont want to get left behind by a ****ing mini cooper at a stoplight.
I rode my buddies 600s a few times, and MY first bike was 1000cc.....
Just treat the ****ing thing with some sense and you'll be fine. You HAVE to ride like everyone is trying to kill you, because they are. What @Tezz500 said about ole Britney mowing you over is 100000% the truth.
You can do the course, or not, I didnt. Taught myself by DOING it.
@ZYBORG i lol'ed at about every response you posted to Tezz lolol
Tezz I would never ride that thing. Not my style, whether I'm 29 or 129
It’s ok Bro… very few can handle this Ol Girl
Whats her name, Bertha?
Well she’s big and black so it’s obviously Shaquanda. DUH.
Wait, you don’t?
Okay… Im game. I’ll give her the best disappointing 15min of her life!

Thanks, & yes...it's a 17. As you know, the Low Rider is a very comfortable ride, it does everything well.
I added nos 2012 stock Dyna head pipes with correct size O2's for my year & nos 2008 (no cats) mufflers...I wanted a 2 into 2 exhaust...still have the sock 2 into 1 decatted, K & N drop in air filter, Amsoil everywhere. Runs great. My next project is either have the stock wheels powder coated or exchange them for chrome wheels from Wiley Shiny.I agree, good all around bike. Any plans for yours or keeping it mostly stock?
