I got my hands on a WP7 device, the Samsung Focus, and I've been using it for about a week now. Since I've used an iPhone 3GS for over a year, I put that phone in a drawer so I could concentrate on a new device. Here's what I think at the end of the week.
I've spent the last year staring at all of the bikes I'd like. My flavor of choice goes by many names: naked, standard, streetfighter, and more.

You can get a cruiser and ride comfortably, but you're not going to get up to speed without a good amount of work and lets hope you're not planning on turning or stopping.
