Honda shadow spirit 750 or Honda rebel 250?

I'm a beginner in bikes and never been on a bike on high way and I'm taking my courses now and thinking what will be the best bike for beginners will it be the Honda rebel 250 or honda shadow 750 spirit. Bare in mind I used to ride a scooter 150cc for fun. I really need your advise because honestly I'm lost here

They're both great starter bikes. You'd be happy with either of them. The difference is how much highway riding you plan to do. The Shadow is going to be more stable and comfortable at highway speeds. The Rebel, OTOH, is all the motorcycle you will ever need, up to about 50 mph. (Though it will go a lot faster than 50).

Cruisers have the advantage of a lower center of gravity--as do scooters, BTW. Because of that they feel lighter than they are. So you can start bigger. A 750cc standard would be too much, but a 750cc cruiser would be easy enough for a beginner to handle. Shadows have been made since the Reagan years and they are EXTREMELY popular because a lot of people learn to ride on them. Likewise the Harley Davidson Sportster (which is a little bigger/heavier yet). In fact Harley has a new bike out just this year that's 750cc, water cooled, like the Shadow!

I strongly recommend you learn on a used bike. Look in your local craigslist. Used Rebels in good shape seem to go for a lot of money! I think it's just because they're so durned CUTE! They're not as easy to find. But you'll see Craigslist's motorcycle section is crawling with Shadows.

The 750 is the way to go. The rebel won't get out of way of traffic safely it's to slow. The 750 will be good for a couple yrs then ull wanna move to an 1100.
