I'm thinking of picking up a relatively inexpensive bike for the summer (assuming I can get this past the wife). It's been a long time since I've ridden and back then I was a kid who only wanted a rice rocket. My requirements have changed and I have no idea what sort of bike I want.
Requirements:
This doesn't look bad, but I know nothing about it:

1996 YAMAHA VIRAGO XV535SH LOW MILES+++ - $2000
Honda Rebel - not sure if it's enough engine for my big butt
2005 Honda Rebel Motorcycle - $2000
Practically new. Only 1658 miles. Purchased in spring '06

Thanks for any suggestions.
Requirements:
- Reliable - I don't fix squat on my own, if it needs even a screwdriver, I want nothing to do with it.
- Comfortable - None of the crouched over the handlebar stuff, my lower back is in enough pain all the time, though I probably won't be putting much in the way of miles on it. Work and back for the most part and that's about 15 miles round trip.
- Seats two (without a side car )
- Powerful enough to get up and go with a 220# fat-ass
- Used is preferred, I'd like to get into something for a couple grand if possible..
