Default Honda Shadow VLX vs. Kawasaki Vulcan 500 LTD

Hi
For a first bike
Honda Shadow VLX or the Kawasaki Vulcan 500 LTD
I tried both at the dealer shop.
Can you give me some insight of pros and cons.
Remember,first bike ever
I Think I have made my mind but I want your opinion.
Thanks
Mauricio

I don't have any experience with ether bike. What I do know, is neither one is anything like the last bikes you asked about. I thought you had your mind made up to buy a duelsport.

I have to admit, you guys are really good at changing noobs minds for the better. Right now, while I haven't ruled out a cruiser if I win the lotto, you guys have convinced me to be looking a different direction for my first bike. I'll probably change my mind 100 more times before I buy, but at least now I know a little more about what makes a good starter bike.
