Smile Buying a Bike

I just Completed the MSP course (Oct 15,2006) and want to buy a bike. I am looking at a Yahama 2003 V-Star Custom. Would this be a good bike for a newbee. I am an older man and put safety first.

Is the V-Star custome a decent starter bike. Is it a dependable bike. I sat on one and it seemed very balanced for me and easy to handle standing still. I know it does not have a lot of power, but it should be enough for me. I weigh 165 and I am on the short side (5' 6""). My feet easily touch the ground on this bike.

Would someone with experience recommmend this bike to a newbee like me.
