Metric cruisers - possible choices for new bike

Howdy peg, welcome to the site!

Well, the final answer is (cue drum roll...), a '06 Suzuki Boulevard M50. Bought sight unseen on Trade Me, and it all worked out fine. The bike is great, fulfills all my expectations and more. Looks good in the garage (I believe),and is a hoot to ride. Quite a different sensation, rising a cruiser compared to my CBR600 as you'd expect.

Bought a new helmet as well, a Shoei XR1000 Matrix which I'll post in riding gear when I get around to it.

So thanks for the advice - that and the online reviews have all been on the money. My workmate is a little annoyed I bought a metric cruiser and not a Harley. I very nearly did, as the deal at Wgtn Motorcycles is very good but in the end I went with the bike I want to ride, not the one other people expect me to ride.

Pics attached.
