I will forward a recommendation for the Honda Shadow, especially if you’re shopping used. They’ve been in production forever, are extremely reliable, and have that big American V-Twin style vibe while costing a lot less and being doggedly reliable. Finding a used Shadow is generally as easy as proceeding to your nearest tree and shaking it. If you can get your hands on one someone hasn’t already ruined by chopping bits off of it or trying to AdD mOrE pOwEr!!! any given example should last you forever. Each one seems to consist of about four moving parts, and there is plenty of aftermarket support for both repair parts and accessories if that’s your jam.

I would say that, though, what with owning one and all.

You can buy a new Shadow still, and newer ones are fuel injected now. If you want to shop new, the Kawasaki Vulcan S is also an interesting choice (an adjustable fit cruiser with a Ninja engine in it!), and the Honda Rebel is also a very good bike that comes in three engine displacements depending on your desired level of oomph. I have no idea what any of the above costs in Europe, but none of these are particularly premium bikes. I’m guessing you’re in Europe somewhere, what with your listed currency being Euros.

Don’t buy a Harley in Europe. And if you just can’t resist, certainly don’t buy one from the AMF years (1969 to 1981) because those tend to be dogshit on wheels.
