For what you would spend for a new china Bike you could get a slightly used Jap bike of Craigs list that may fit your needs.
I ride a CCW Heist Bobber. Single cyl thumper but it hauls. i ride to work on it ever so often but had put about 500 miles on her in 10 days.
you ned to really find a bike that will fit you where you will be comfortable on it.
