    >>Seriously as Fish said, try the VN800. It might surprise you.

    Sigh - just when i thought you were making progress too.

    You would rather I suggest the Trophy for a newbie to ride?

    It's alright guys, you can all relax, I've got my baby back.

    On assessment, taking everything into consideration, after careful thought and reflection, keeping a completely open mind, my overall opinion on riding the cruiser...






    Sorry, it sucked.

    Chuck her an M50 and see if she changes her mind.
    Thats what I rode from Holeshot when my bike was getting serviced. I thought it quite entertaining, if a little under-powered. Though the comments from Mr suzuki salesman (who shall remain nameless) said "nah, you just need to rev it a bit"
    me:"But its got no tacho? I dont know how hard to push it"
    salesguy:"Change up when it goes BRRRRRRRRBRAP BRAP BRAP".

    Apparently I was being too nice to it.

    I was thinking, I might get a cruiser for my next bike.

    and some leather chaps and a french poodle.

    and I'm gonna grow a handlebar moustache and change my name to Maurice.

    And people will say as I cruise up Ponsonby Rd - "Hey, there goes Maurice on his SavageMaruaderAnalIntruder, dang, he da man!"

    YOU were thinking .... thats dangerous in itself. But wait ... while you were "thinking" you happened to come up with chaps and a poodle? Is there something you're not sharing?

    Yeah, it must be all this cruiser talk and the fact I wore my pink shirt to work today.

    Definitely it, but I did look quite cool cruising up Ponsonby Rd in the sunshine wearing my pink shirt on the SV....

    Didn't sound like there was ever going to be any doubt about that. Maybe you' should retro fit the SV with chopper bars, widow maker forks, sissy bar and new foot rests - oh and a tear drop tank, just to be sure lol
