Help choosing a cruiser

HyperM3 · 11-04-2011, 02:04 PM

No, Im not getting rid of my Sk1RR! Im just thinking about picking up a cruiser for some liesurely rides and for commuting. Something easier to ride 2 up.

Ive been trying to keep my budget under 10k. There have been several options that caught my eye so far and wanted help weighing in from anyone who might have opinions or experience since Ive never ridden one before.

The list is as follows: Triumph America or Speedmaster, Yamaha Vstar custom, Kawi Vulcan 900 Custom special edition. If I WERE to trade my bike in, Id go for the Duc Diaval.

So anyone with any input it would be much appreciated.

LOL I appreciate your input. That being said, lets bring it back down to reality a bit.

Get a tourer rather than a cruiser.

I know what you mean but these 6 cyl was talked about for 2009 but never made out ... but if and when its mine for sure so i will wait and wait .

Add some $$ and go for the Diavel. Your S1KRR deserves a worthy stable mate.

Really trying to keep it under 10k. Not looking for a touring bike as I wont be touring and I dont want to look like an old fuddy duddy(no offense). I still want a fun little bike thats comfortable for my 10 mile traffic ridden commute and putzing around town with a guest in the back.

You'd be surprised. The R1200RT weighs less than my 1995 VFR 750, and it handles better too.
