I started riding a year ago. Bought my first bike, Harley XL1200 Sportster, a week after taking my MSF course through the local Harley dealership and put over 18,000 miles on my bike in just a year.

One thing to consider is how you want to ride, and where you want to ride. Most of my friends I ride with are into the club-style and performance bagger bikes. We all ride pretty aggressively and enjoy the twisty canyon roads. If you are wanting something fast and fun, a big wheel bagger probably isn't the best bike. If you want to stay local and just cruise around and go to bike nights, etc. then obviously get what suits your style. It is also okay to have more than one bike in your garage. 

1000% best decision I ever made was getting into motorcycles. My wallet may not agree but the friends, adventures and memories are completely worth it. 

I have a 2011 Tundra 2wd. I purchased 8 years ago with 53k miles, now has 195k. I would say 50% of the miles I have put on it have been towing a trailer. I use it to tow a 20' enclosed trailer with either a baja or vw powered sandrail in it. It has never left me stranded and never let me down. It gets used as not only the tow vehicle, but also as a chase vehicle when I am racing my baja as well as helping pit/chase for friends in Mexico. It is 2wd and will go places some of the race cars don't do well in. Everything about the truck is big; the front arms, hubs, brakes, rear axle, etc. make my dad's 1500 chevy look small. Right now, the only reason I would get another truck is to get a diesel and unfortunately Toyota doesn't make one.
