Heheh, btw dont you know you aint allowed to cal em " Crash Bars " anymore, they are Engine protectors... LOL

Only 6, but I am not sure what was standard on this model - especially regarding the crome bits. I am not as technically minded as some of my cruiser brethren! Nice looking ride though.

Nor do we have handle bars either these days, just steering tillers.............

I used to ride a 1986 gpz1000rx, it could overtake any car on the road. Can cruisers do this? What cc would you think is too small for overtaking at 100km/hr? I was thinking of buying a 750+ cc bike as my next one do they have good overtaking power?

dude i can over take any car on the road on the my beast,AS LONG AS IT'S PARKED

just out of interest what made you buy a cruiser,


my reasons , started 3 to 4 years ago, started watching OCC , wanted to build a occ bike , then found out about certs , and that put paid to that, then i found this bike with a 240 rear tyre,100+ci,looked like it was something out of a sifi movie and looked like it was going 100mph while it was standing still, and at a cost i could afford,and the riding postion, had to have my feet out in front of me, a cruiser, some people hate it some people love it ,but i would not ride anything but a cruiser

I allways thought people buy cruisers because they are either old and decrepid or don't have the balls to ride a high preformance bike.

Well that's fighting talk!
Actually I think you get over the speed thing and get more interested in the laid-back cruise thing. You know you can still ride like a dork at maximum annoyance level but you don't feel the need to show off all the time. Something like that. I also think you appreciate the sound and feel of the engine better on a vee twin, instead of that horrible high reving engine crap.

Well that's fighting talk!.

Actually didn't know if I'd be happy with a cruiser but now I love it! The Missus loves it and we have great fun. Last ride together it was she who suggested taking the long way home...!

Totally different ride from a sportsbike and to be honest my ideal stable would include a cruiser and the GSX-R750!

Power? Last ride in company with a 1340 Softail, 1600 Softail, 1450 Dyna Low Rider and a C90, our little 805cc C50T had no problem keeping up or ahead and overtaking! Acceleration easily matched the 1340 and we were all two-up with our Missus'!

Try one, you may just find you enjoy it!
