It's funny, but this being a predominantly sport bike site, I thought there'd be a bit more division among the members then there seems to be. I mean, I can appreciate a good sport bike as much as the next guy. They're a blast to ride, for short periods. I just wouldn't want to do 500 miles in one shot on one. By the same token, while a big cruiser is great on the open hiway, it does give up a little "grin factor" to those zippy race inspired rides.

There is, on this forum, there seems to be a mutual respect for each others rides that goes beyond bodywork, lean angles, and cam profiles.






On a different note......

Besides adding some leather, what else do you have in mind for your scoot?

Nice looking ride supersayin, congrats.

This is a bike forum but it would be nice to hear more feedback from the cruisers out there. Yes my sportbikes get my lovin' attention more often then the cruisers maybe since I ride them just abit harder.

I thought a bike was a bike was a bike. Everyone one in here was posting cruisers. That is what the Title of the room suggests. But thanks guys for the compliments.

lol, it is exactly a bike forum, and as the title of cruisers suggests...I was actually wanting more cruiser feedback. I actually like to cruise myself.

Some beautiful bikes in this thread I love cruisers, though I currently do not own one. I did own a Yamaha Virago 750, and loved that thing. They are great for just a nice laidback ride. That V-twin is very relaxing

Even the heaviest, most powerful models deliver hybridlike economy. The smallest ones sip fuel at a pace that would make a Prius owner jealous. So a cool-looking, fun-to-ride cruiser can become a very unlikely and appealing alternative to a hybrid
