I'm-buying-soon questions

[Al]

So I have my license now and I am looking to get a bike very soon, but I have a few questions...

Right now, I am looking at cruisers and some of those sport/ dual purpose bikes:

Ones I've Checked out
Kawasaki Versus
Suzuki Vstrom
Harley Sportster
Honda Rebel (low budget option)

Have not checked out yet but intend to:
Suzuki SV650 (naked version)
Yamaha FZ6
Honda Shadow
Buell Lighting & Ulyses
Buell Blast

As you can see with these bikes, I do not want to be crouched over the tank.

If you have any input ideas, feel free to state them.


ALSO...
I am looking for gear and accesories. Where is the best place to buy gear and are there aftermarket places where I can buy items like hard saddle bags for less than the dealership?


Soon, very soon...I will buy my bike.
