Metric cruiser quality?

[devo]

If wot you allways wanted was a trumph, then bite the bullet and get one.
Anything else is just a compromise, and you'll always wish you had

So looking at metric cruisers - are any better than the others in terms of quality / ride etc?
Honda, kawasaki, Yamaha , Hyosung, Hardly deadlyson, Victory, Suzuki, in that order

Are there any that should be avoided at all cost?
Chinese ones
Honda - all I know is that they are gay OK - I know nothing about the Hondas either.
Your right you do know nuffin , Honda's have without doubt the best build quality ,all others pale in comparison.

Im looking to do some significant rides over summer, but still use the bike as a day to day commuter.
Most of my riding will be solo, but when allowed some 2up.

Honda VT 750c2 sounds like the bike for you



Any advise would be appreciated.

Tank

So in my case you mean big and muscular? hehehe

Must be the bike your talking about

Jafar rides a Honda He will love it when he reads that post.


Suzuki Cruisers dude. Not Nice.

I'd love a VTX! Can't afford one though - have to stick to my 1990's Honda Muscle bikes

That thing in your avatar though is a VT1300

No it isn't its a VTX 1300

The VTX has different lines to it. Doesn't have as long a rear fender, rear disc brake.

VTX 1300r & VTX 1800c different models there is your confusion.

Although I am always keen on shorter rides to fit in with rather limited spare time.

True... it would be good to make fortnightly or weekly short rides too if cruiser riders are keen enough. I just wish I had an eighth day in the week to get all my work done!
