Yes its another motorcycle question.

I have jsut recently gotten my motorcycles operators permit. I have ridden a few of my friends bikes before but never owned one of my own. I have always wanted a crotch rocket, (I really like the CBR's) I also love hte way hte cruiser ( Valkyrie, VTX and Kawasaki Meanstreak) look and sit. I do not plan on buying new. Alying one over is enevitible and I Hate to scrap a brand new bike. What do I look for on USED bikes to determine condition. How many miles are two many for each respective type of bike, cruiser and rocket? I am undecided on what I want between the two. Obviously one of each would be nice but I don't see it happenin. Daliy commute would consist of abotu 70 miles round trip but I wouldnt ride every day. Alot of pleasure riding on the weekends with friends that ride. Most of hte time we would ride all day, 3 to 4 hundred miles on a long day. What do you think would best be suited for my wants. I am looking for opinions here. Please no bashing of the other side. Just express your views of your type bike.

Thanks
Brad
