I scraped my pegs about 16 years ago when I was a beginner on a Honda VT250, mostly because I had no idea that I was taking the corner too fast.

For me, the idea of having to pay a large repair bill keeps me pretty upright nowadays. I may as well be riding a cruiser.

I've read previous posts that you are leaning towards a cruiser. That's cool and I wish you best but make sure you like the feet forward position that a cruiser gives you. I found when I had my Honda 1100 cruiser that it really bothered my back after riding for an hour or so. My other dislike of a cruiser style was not having the ability to stand on the pegs when riding for whatever reason like big bumps, rail road tracks, adjusting pant legs, etc.
It was, well, just a CRUISER and nothing more.

I did my practice riding on a cruiser-style bike. It's nice enough for... well, cruising around dead straight roads for an hour or so, but anything more than that and my lower-back started to scream. And I'm not exactly an old man.
