I need comfort. I don't see much comfort in those pics. I ride to work 45 minutes one way, 1.5 hours a day. I need a cruiser! |

Of them I like this one the best. I like the blacked out look with bits of chrome here and there, like the pushrod tubes, that really pop against the black. I also like the “look” of the springer front and rigid rear but lets be honest, living with that bike would be a serious PITA. And that’s why I generally don’t care for cruisers, they’re more about a look than function. |

I found this definition. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cruiser_%28motorcycle%29 so....hmm.... maybe the correct terminology for ME would be a bagger? I have a 1100 Sabre and have always thought of it as a cruiser. but I guess that's not necessarily correct..... |

If I got one it would definitely be a hop around town kind of bike. I'd also probably avoid the ridged rear. Would probably go a Sportster 1200 route; raise the tank a bit. Put a skinny 21" front on (I 'think' it's a 21) with some white wall. Lower the rear a tad. Put on some mini-apes. And pretty much leave the rest alone. I don't think I'd enjoy a full-on true bobber (ridged frame etc). |

Like the HD street-glide - I call that a bagger. But, I suppose 'bagger' is subjective etc. |

Nothing will compare to the past 2 sport bikes I've had lol. Those things make crazy power. I had a V-Star 650 Custom about 8 years ago-ish, and liked it from a power perspective (sufficient). though, was a bit of a chore with 2-up in stop and go traffic, slipping the clutch etc. It also desperately needed either a taller 5th, or a 6th gear. That thing was hummin' on the highway at 70-75 etc. Great bike otherwise. Dirt cheap. I bought it from a husband of a chick my wife worked with at the time. He was constantly getting deployed and joked that every time he rode it, he got deployed etc. He sold if to me for $3500. and I sold it for $3300 about 3 years later. It only had 700 miles when I bought it. |

:D
I had a CBR 600RR; only had 600ccs ...I did forget about the Sabre and 4 cylinders. |

IIRC it spit him off just before wrapping around a tree. Good thing too, if he’d ridden it much longer it would have eventually killed him. |

Those Kaw Mach III's were incredible.
Saw one on Craigslist here in Iowa the other day. Said it was mint and wanted $6500. By the time I called it was sold. I thought that price was way high. Like the color scheme though. http://www.motoinfo.it/public/images...III-1974-l.jpg |
