    At 246kg fueled, I dont think my 650 is a lightweight bike by any means. To move around, its a heavy bike.
    Ahh OK, thought you meant you had changed to cruisers from another type

    The Yamaha claim on the 950 I tested was 56% on the front wheel - 'considerably more than a standard cruiser'.

    Re the marauder - All I can point to is the previous point that the quality of the suspension components has a great bearing on the way the bikes handle and cornering stability.

    The standouts for me have been the Yamaha and the Triumph Speedmaster/America, but they are middleweights by comparison to the Street Glide eg, which doesn't lag too far behind in the chucking it aboot stakes.

    But really you can throw a blanket over most of those that have similar specs and mass.
