Tourer or Cruiser?

**Yokai** · 27th September 2004, 10:47

Welllll - here I go with a poll. I don't know whether I am a Tourer rider or a Cruiser rider... So I figured I'd post a poll to find out

Here's the bike Yokai's Bike in Future Mode

I ride the same spec bike but without the nice chrome bits (YET)....

Am I a Tourer or a Cruiser? (I'm not a hog or a SportBike).

Tourer I would have said, but the sports bike nuts might argue differently

Tourer for sure, say...that's a nice bike.

definately not a cruiser, forks aren't on enough of an angle, front wheel isn't big enough and not enough CHROME, smatterofact there's no such thing as enough chrome!

Neither - it's a Cafe Racer.

Classic cafe racer lines.
I got to agree with Jim2

**Motu** · 27th September 2004, 12:05

Yep,cafe racer - and a nice one!

I'm sort of sitting on the fence between tour and cafe. Agree with motu though, whatever it is, it looks the goods

Seems that you like the nice chromey version - anyone got some spare dosh they can throw me to help me get it that way

:

First things first - rear Coils and a nice dremel polish on the cylinders.

Yeah, no way it's a tourer or a cruiser. Completely non-cruiser geometry, and you can't have an utterly-naked tourer, it's just not the right word, is it?

It's a cafe racer. No other term for it.

Nice looking one, too.

I don't see a hell of a lot of chrome on that bike,just the basic stuff like wheels and exhaust - what ''chrome'' is missing on your future bike?

The version that I own has black cylinders, black Exhaust, black exhaust cover (what protects me from getting burnt), black Coils, black lower forks (what's that bit called) and black engine case thing (below and forward of the sidecover) ... Effectively its accents, I guess.

I will have all of those bits done by the end of summer I hope....
