Of the 4 baby bikes listed, in order, the value for dollar is Ninja, Rebel, V-Star, GZ.
It is almost impossible to kill the baby Kawasaki or the Rebel. The V-Star can be tempermental. The GZ, like all Suzuki cruisers, needs a lot of tlc and tinkering to make it dependable.
In today's market, the Savage, the VLX600, and the V-Star 650 are the beginner cruisers. Of those 3, bang for the buck is VLX for its reliabilty, but, it can't get out of its own way. Nicer frame, nicer tins, more aesthetically "correct" powertrain. That said, I currently have 2 Savages. Much more user friendly in terms of ergonomic modifications. I wouldn't have a 650 V-Star on a dare, an 85cc 2 stroke will hand it its ass.
