Funny, I intend to buy a cruiser next, and I am fixated on a H-D Nightster. Or perhaps an Iron. Dont want a big twin. (I'm short so the Sporty fits me). Ive really enjoyed the bikes I have test ridden, but I just cannot reconcile the prices: in particular the used prices people are asking. A Nightster brand new was $16.5k, and people want $14 to $15k second hand. Usually theyve fucked them up by putting forward controls on them, or whatever. I had in mind $11k as a budget: Id probably get an Iron for that, or an 883R.
But
I can go to my local Honda dealer and buy a brand new VT750S for $12500. Its the same motor as the VT750C but it is lighter. a bit taller. Has chain drive and is a Honda. 3 valve cylinder heads, EFI, 2 year warranty. Decent ergos (I have sat, not ridden) very well finished, and there is a thriving aftermarket for them out of the US. Only in a lame blue colour in NZ not the flat track inspired scheme but I would paint it purple metalflake anyway (quoted $800 from a client who is a painter).
I'd rather have the Honda. Also check these out.
