Sexy Cruisers

aychamo_aycono · 05-12-2008, 04:29 AM

Hey guys

Anyone have any cruisers they like? I've been looking at picking up a bike again. I've only owned crotch rockets in the past, but years ago we all rented Harleys and cruised to Florida and back, and it was very enjoyable to be so comfortable on a motorcycle (as opposed to not being so comfortable on a crotch rocket.)

So I don't know much about cruisers. I like this bike, which is the Harley Davidson 1200 Nightster (in the Sportster family).

I'm not into a lot of chrome or anything, so I like how the Nighster doesn't have much, and how it's mostly blacked out, and how it has a retro feel, especially with the front-end. Harley also seems great because they have a lot of "from-the-factory" options, ie, custom paint.

What are some other really nice cruisers out there?

Sexy... not sure if it's realistic, but if you're planning to spend the money...

That looks like a really easy way to burn the shit out of your calf. Or am I missing something with the exhaust?

Knowing Harley... it's probably aircraft grade carbon in which case, you could probably grab onto the pipes and they'll be cool to the touch.

You only buy Harley if you want to be the Harley Club, the most snobrific bunch of people you'll ever meet.

I looked into getting one and I like the Victory Vegas line. Preferably the 8 Ball or Jackpot.

aychamo_aycono · 05-12-2008, 04:59 PM

Damn, that ones hot. What's the MSRP on those?

Not every much, $13k-16k depending on the model you get. American made too. Victory is part of Polaris.

I'd like to get something simple like an early 70s trumph or Norton myself.

You could get one for 5kish that's in pretty decent shape and this bike wouldn't depreciate too much if you kept good maintenance records.

My mom has a Triumph she used to ride way back in '77, and its been sitting in storage for years and years... as a fun summer project i've thought about rebuilding it...
