Try and avoid the underpowered baby cruisers.
I test rode the Suzuki M109, which was interesting. The 1800cc motor was pretty impressive. I found that you don't need to brake in to corners as that fuck-off super sized rear tyre has its own automatic braking system (I don't think it is supposed to). The C50 was heaps better, but not for me. If you want better quality look at Kawasaki.
Good luck.

Carver, someone with an ego like yours shouldnt bother test riding a cruiser... stick to your sprotsbike. You just wouldn't get it.

I think the first thing you need to do is spend some time talking to cruiser owners to find out what their (the purchasers) wants and expectations are in a cruiser.
If you don't get the cruiser thing after that, don't bother with your 'test' as it will be a totally irrelevant and absolutely worthless review.
It would be a bit like you reviewing dildos..............now that would be a interesting video :laugh: I bet you'd be doing a few 'wheelies' and screaming out for a 'stoppie'.

Carver ... what about an 09 GSX-R1000. They are quite a nice little cruiser ..... or perhaps an 09 R1 ..... ?
Both are nice little laid back, relatively docile scoots .... which hopefully won't prove to be too disappointing for your 1st cruiser 'outing' :scooter: :bleh:

everyone knows that if you want to do forced induction on a big single, a supercharger is the only way to go. (think Rogher Goldammer, or the boy that cut the cylinder off the ducati, or the big Harley ones).

I'm with morcs on this one.The M50 would have to be my favourite looker out of all the cruisers.And i'd be keen to see a vid on how they go,as a mate of mine is looking to buy one,but there's none to test ride around here.

My M50 goes well, lots of low down torque... happy at 100 - 110 km cruising

The problem with my mate,is that he currently rides sports bikes,and he's only going on looks.If he thinks he's going to ride an M50 the same way he rides his Gixxer,or RGV,he'll probably be disappointed.
