Hello Vito, and welcome. I started riding motorcycles at age 17, and am now 66. Until 2017 I was riding a Harley that I bought in 2007 new. As I got older, plus doing more around town and short hops, the Harley became like wrestling a tank at slower speeds and in town traffic for me. It weighed over 750 pounds. I liked the bike, but like Clint Eastwood said in one of his movies, " Ya know, a mans just gotta know his limitations.
I have probably owned more than a dozen different bikes over the years, all Japanese except the Harley. My all time favorite before my CB1100, was a 1974 CB750 Four that I bought new in '74. The CB1100 is the closest I will ever get my my "74. The minute I stated riding it home from the dealer, it felt familiar. Although not a light bike, I find it very manageable in all types of riding, from slow around town, to cruising on the highway. Best I can tell you is to ride one and see if you like it. As far as the accessories go, there are lots available, can you can get accessory suggestions here all day long. Go for a test ride on one, and see if you like it.
