If you go with something around 800cc, you'll have plenty of power (it hasn't been that many years ago when an 800cc engine was considered massive), and your insurance rates will be much MUCH cheaper. For instance, on my Boulevard C50, I pay around $140/year with Progressive, full coverage. For the Harley, I pay about $600. The V-Star is 1300 cc. Would the insurance premium be painful?

The V-Star is 1300 cc. Would the insurance premium be painful? I think it all depends on your insurance company, where you live and such. If you don't like the price your agent gives you, shop around.
Check out some motorcycle internet forums / bulletin boards and their insurance discussions. You'll see a ton of varied experiences by riders.

I think I pay 4 payments a year of about $75 with Safeco for my Yamaha Star 1300 Tourer.
Compared to $220 a month for my 2002 Silverado 3500 dually and the wifes 2005 Pontiac Aztek.
