okay, so back on track . . . .

who here has ridden/owned a cruiser?  If so, which one? 

I always said that if I got a cruiser it would be a Yamaha Warrior.  But then I lifted one off its side stand.  I guess 1100 is about as big as I'd lke to go.

I had an old Kawi cruiser as my first bike.  It was groovy.  I'd have another cruiser if I had the money/space/etc.

But a Harley?  Really?

rode a... early 2000ish honda shadow 600.  not bad... it was customed out, too. I helped fit the HD risers on that bad boy  it's light enough, since it's a "small" cruiser.

2008 sportster 1200, never rode the carby, so I'm not sure how the FI makes a difference, but the throttle was weird, it seemed loose, but once you get it to crack open, she just  pulls you along. gotta love super low end torque. never gained any confidence in the suspension/brakes, so braking early and with both F/R is very important.

with any luck, I'm gonna get to throw a leg over a VMax this weekend  :e:v :e:v :e:v :e:v THAT'S the cruiser for me, baby!

Funny you should mention that.  I told Shawn I was looking at that Nightster and asked him if he had anything similar/cheaper.  He said that only thing would be the V-Max!

Even by today's standards that's  a pretty mean looking bike.  It's hard to believe it's been around this long without any major changes. 

[teddy037.2]

it never needed any.

just like the monster.


got it up off the kickstand, very easy, comfy std. ergos, too. and real brakes!  all that's left is to convince charlie to let me take it down the street... I'm sure he'd be more than happy to trade bikes... whenever it is I get mine back...

I'm already trying to talk him into fitting drag bars  :e:v he will crack.

V-Max!  V-Max!  V-Max!
