jeeesus rick - I openly have said i know nothing about bikes, hence the title “school me on bikes”, you didn’t have to bruise me verbally so badly.
To respond to everything said, my rationale for dieing easier on a sport bike is well, going fast on a sport bike is what they are for, cruiser is for, cruising at the speed limit-ish. That is my rationale for less dieing, I fully realize that I can die on either, and that many bike fatalities are a result of other drivers.
:mamoru: yes, every decision is a joint decision now !
Did not know that comfort from bike riding was from posture, this I am sure I would learn later on (most likely the hard way)
my, rationale is probably VERY skewed as I know nothing on the topic
MSF courses you don’t supply your own bike? Do you need your license or can you go with only a permit? And I absolutely would not have a passenger for some time I am sure.

Cruiser are for going fast too 
Posture is very important for comfort. While some bikes may have for seating cushion than others, if you have bad posture you will be in pain no matter what you ride. There are plenty of aftermarket solutions for seats on all sorts of bikes, so you don’t necessarily need a cruiser for a long ride (although some of them are definitely nice ).
MSF Beginner course, you just bring yourself, they supply helmets, gloves, and bikes. You need a valid motorcycle permit.
