    Believe it or not I've actually ridden one of these, I quite liked it once I got used to the whole cruiser thing.

    I didnt ride it for long (about two 20 minute trips) and found that I was quite cramped on it (im about 6"3' ish i think).

    If you dont mind me asking, whats the budget? theres a bandit selling on here at the moment for around $4k (very nice bikes)

    Have you sat on one? they're not actually that far of a lean forwards, kinda like halfway between a gn (also ridden one of those) and a modern bike like a recent gsxr.

    other bike i can suggest is a vt (or z or other variant) 250, very up right sort of style but old bikes with cam chain issues, i miss the grunty low down power of the v-twin setup though.

    the decision of what bike to get is up to you, not me.

    also, like i first said i do like the gv, only problem was i was too tall for it and i didnt like the engine or how it was geared or something (no where near as grunty as a vt)
