Me personally; I like cruisers, cause as said, they are comfortable, they look cool, and they sound good too
And they can take dirt, put a sport bike on sand and lets see how fast your on your ass.
@@realjrbenoit5451 just saying, theres a video of a dude riding a ninja 300 on a dirt bike track, amd hes just shredding it. So Sportbikes can also take dirt
You want to look like your grandpa get a cruiser. Real coll lol
@@realjrbenoit5451 why would you take a sports bike on a beach?
@@davidjones-tz8bs have fun eating shit at 120 on your sports bike
On a serious note. Cruisers are incredibly cheaper to insure. Never paid more than $350. Or so full coverage for the year. Sport bikes pretty typically at least twice as much
I'm an older rider with a good driving record and it costs me $160 a year to fully cover my Indian Scout. Just one of the many reasons I love motorcycles.
14 a month, thanks progressive lol on a supermoto too
Canada here and mine is $1000USD for a scout 20
Yammers the volume of the yes daddy made my work day very awkward. Thank you yammie god
I would like your comment but it's at 69👌so

weird the video started at 0 for me
Thor yea yammie is the hero
Thanx man
I love you
he talks so fucking much
I've never been violated by a childhood cartoon until now
Ooh daddy!!
He's not wrong about the attention from oldermen. I'm a 24 year old Male, extremely introverted and just enjoy to ride; and everywhere I go; there's no escape
Escape:

I'm an introverted chick in her mid 20s, considering getting a cruiser because I like cruisers more.
Lol
@@SilentGlaceon94 I’m 26 and I also will go for the cruiser. They just seem so daang comfortable lol and sound great
Wouldn't have that problem on a sports bike ;) everyone looks including the people you want to look :D JK haha but for real this comment is true depending on what you drive is the type of people you'll attract.
My riding style (low n slow) suits cruisers better. I've ridden a few sportbikes as well, and they are deffinately faster/more agile. But give me comfort for mile crunching any day. Respect for the sport bikes though.
I like cruiser cause they’re more comfortable and they give off more bde
I literally pissed myself at work when the cailou clips came on. Thanks yam.
OH YES DADDY
See a doctor. Unless you`re over 100yrs old.
paul joe my gramps is 74 and he pees himself all the time

Oh YeS DaDDy
Look all I’m saying is the only thing that would make my streetglide more perfect would be some sort of toilet system... people are getting tired of seeing me piss off the side of it when I’m on the freeway
E.Z. cure for that dude, there is a type of catheter for those incontinent in the bladder,
like a rubber with a piece of tubing, splice another piece of tubing an run it down your leg.
Okay seriously, how long were you waiting to use that Calliou clip.
I've owned and enjoyed multiple styles of bike, but at the ripe old age of 46, and having a body broken down through time and misuse, comfort is a tremendously important factor in selecting a bike for me. If I'm not comfortable on my 90-minute commutes, I'm not riding.
Fun fact: For me, as I am now, bending over a tank on a sportbike is not comfortable. Sitting straight up and down, but leaning slightly forward, on a sport-tourer or adventure bike is not comfortable. I need to be able to lean back a bit, stretch my legs out a bit, and not put so much pressure on my lower back or my arms.
I loved my old SV650S. It was my favorite ride for a while. Even so, after riding from San Diego to Julian and back (including some time on the mountain roads in the area, like Banner Grade), which totaled around three hours of riding, I was so sore (nearly numb) that I didn't want to ride again for a couple days. Later, I did the same ride on the Boulevard C50, and I felt like I could do it all over again immediately.
Comfort is important, and no bike does "comfort" better than a cruiser, unless you want a full-bore tourer - the Winnebago of bikes .
Sometimes you just gotta say, "you'll understand when you're older."
I have kinda the opposite problem, I find that without the most extreme rearward rake to the handlebars I end up bent at an uncomfortable angle trying to have my feet on pegs way out in front of me and leaning forward to grab the bars.
I like my bikes like I like my women. Naked
And fast
Y'all are just so clever. Spend long thinking those comments up?
ha ha what does my '98 blackbird say about me?
I like mine loud and big with thick grab handles.

Now you just have to find a woman...virgin little man 😂
Sport touring bikes, the happy middle.
Yes, indeed. There's a reason why sport-tourers and full bore tourers dominate the Iron Butt Rally (11,000 miles in 11 days to be competitive) and sport bikes and cruisers don't.
Not to mention the foot position is far superior.
the gayest of each, combined into one
I came here to ask for a sport touring video
May be the happy middle to you but the worst of both worlds to many.
I sold my Ducati 899 Panigale for my Triumph Bonneville Bobber and I haven’t looked back since 👍🏻
imagine being hit by a flying motorcycle and you havent even crossed the f---ing start line yet
Don't have to. Had it happen to me at a motocross race in 84. Lid behind me lost his clutch cable, right before the gate dropped, and I took his 80cc Honda to the back and helmet.
Thank God for good armor.
@@kevinfox500 jesus christ
The older I get, the more I love my Triumph Bonneville. Sit up and beg ride, corner without dragging parts, and I avoid the bar(s) and shield crowd and that goes with it.
Done.
of course the only dude laying on the rev limiter whiskey's his bike over the head of the person in front of him
Can it even be called whiskey throttle if it's already wide open?
Both are cool. I like cruisers because they can be made to look and sound better due to all the aftermarket options, also when I’m riding in the local suburbs I can’t be doing high speeds etc anyway I’m casual riding so I enjoy the relaxed style of a cruiser.
I've had two sport bikes, bought a cruiser and I love it.
This comfort thing. I have a fucked back and have found that the upright, lent forward position of a naked sports bike the most comfortable for not putting me back out whilst riding. For the most comfy seat I actually have to recommend the old BMW 650f, I don't know what that seat is made out of but my god it is so fucking nice to sit in.
You forgot the most important thing. They keep you riding past the age of 35.
so do the naked segment of bikes...I'm 50 and ride a Yamaha MT09SP ...upright no weight on the wrists and still exciting in the twisties, not a heavy low lean angle cruiser, and a missile off the line...good all-rounder
i am 38 and i still ride an old 98 gixxer srad, the seat and body position are a little better than the new ones. But I don't recommend going on 1000miles trips, it still hurts. lol
I'm 36 on a zx6r.....you were saying?
I am 40 and still enjoyin' my '95 Ninja ZX6R...you were sayin'? ;)
34 and I ride an FZ-07
I road my dads Harley today And fell in love
"If you have daddy issues and desire approval from older man" 😅
Yes daddy!
I prefer cruisers mostly because I don't feel the need to ride like a madman. I like the comfort and I'm more about the journey than the destination.
I disagree about sport bikes dumping you and cruisers doing nothing if you cracked the throttle too hard. A lot of cruisers make massive torque at low RPM, which means that power comes on instantly when you may not expect it, and you don't have to rev it up into the power band to make things dangerous. this is where number four comes in. Cruisers are specifically designed to have usable power at a very broad RPM range, not tunes for peak power only. Crack the throttle too hard on a torquey. V-Twin, and that back tire might just start spinning
I think that he ment that it is harder to loop cruiser then sportbike.
I think he means that wild power hit at like 6k doesn't exist on a typical V twin. Sporties don't come alive till the redline of most cruisers.
Eric Wheeler v twins have most torque at 6k? honestly they are torquey at any point and the comfort aspect isn’t always true when you have an older Harley with a little bit of rake to it not anything major like a chopper but some rake makes it a lil floppy where as sport bikes I imagine are a little bit more agile and snappy imo that makes it easier to feel and ride the bike idk mo
@@davisadams3120 most of the bigger v twins hit peak torque around 3500-4000 rpm. Most sport bikes hit it at 7000-9000 rpm.
Yeah like this 83 Honda Magna V65...that thing takes off like it's mad in love with you...😏 I forgot. One of the fastest production bikes on the list on wiki in the quarter mile. But it's a sleeper... you'll never expect it moves by just looking at it.

You connect with us young gen riders very well because of your meme references lol. You’re the most influential and entertaining motovlogger i.m.o
Its all about that dyna gang, theres just something about seeing a 540 pound harley wheelie to 12 o'clock! That old leather nazi stero type for harley is fading away and the new era of the bad ass harley stunt riders are growing hehehe
Alfredo Salazar I would shit if I saw a dude on a $50,000 bagger pop a 12 with a 117 stage IV. I only see that on RUclips but they’ll do it. I don’t have the funds rn and when I do, I probably won’t push those limits on one... but it’d be cool if I did. 😜 I’d own this town.
Disagree. Never saw them as a “nazi” stereotype, I think that’s inaccurate and ignorant. They’re more attractive to white trash, low IQ individuals, obviously. Look at the price and how reliable it is.
Meant to say unreliable, won’t let me change it
I have a cruiser but i Love sportbikes. My dream is to have both! Nice videos! Keep going!Greats from portugal! 🤙🏼
i recently got a cruiser and haven’t touched my sport bikes in weeks…. never thought i’d like a cruiser.
GSXR 750 for track, Harley Sportser for street, works for me! Cruisers are fun to push hard once in a while on the street, also I like the comfort of a cruiser.
Another reason cruisers are better is the insurance is usually less for let’s say a Honda shadow than it is for a Honda CBR
yea, unless your cruiser is a VTX1800 or a VMAX.... insurance kinda sucks for these kinds of cruisers as well.....it's worth it though ! LOL
I saw a V-rod kill two Busa's at the Drag strip last night, it all depends on what you got lol
did he slammed into the busa's?
@@SoulTouchMusic93 Believe it or not no
I got a cruzer instad of a sport bike for 3 reasons:
1. It is my first bike and I feel a lot more comfortable sitting upright and being able to see my feet
2. I needed something somewhat practical that I could attach saddlebags to
3. At 5'9", I couldn't flat foot the 250 sport bike I had been eyeing for weeks, but I could on the cruser
There are more than 2 bike classes, adventure bikes and sports tourers are also popular. Basically people ride what they like and generally don't necesserily care for much of the others. I've never liked riding sports bikes as I don't find them comfortable and I don't want to ride on the edge all the time. I used to enjoy adventure bikes but now I just love large cruisers with comfort and power plus somewhere to stash your stuff. Mine is a 1500cc Honda Valkyrie and sports bike riders regularly slice me up to prove how fast they are but I doubt they will continue riding on from the UK to somewhere like Rome which is one of the places I've ridden to on it. There is no BETTER bike - it depends on what you want to ride and how you like to ride it.
Maxi Scooters are a thing, but that's taboo with motorcycle people for some reason.
I ride an '07 Suzuki Boulevard C50T. Comfortable and rider friendly. And with the bags and sissy bar removed, it's looks badass rolling down the street!

It takes some skill to DELIBERATELY make a back flip. Any idiot can do it accidentally.

YAMMIE!!! "OH YES DADDY" (5:24-26) I'm glad everyone at work was able to hear that off my monitor.. LOL thanks, PAPA YAM. ;)
Bought a 82 Honda CL500 Silverwing as my first bike. Thanks for helping me feel better about starting with a cruiser!
Started on a HD Street Bob. This lines up perfectly with my experience. I will always look back on my Harley days with a smirk of fondness. But regardless, I don't think I'll be going back from my Tiger 800. I appreciate where I've been, all while being happy with where I'm going. Solid video too btw. Really digging your content, especially recently.
I also started on a street Bob
Y’all started from 0 experience on a street Bob?
theres a reason why "touring" bikes have an upright seating position, its more comfortable than a "cruiser" style bike. to each his own but my lower back hurts after 20-30 min on any cruiser. On my old SV650, the only thing stopping me from riding 4+ hours at a time was the fuel range
on a market for small displacement bikes?
get a Cruiser, the comfort will make up for having no power
looking for a good daily bike?
get a Cruiser. it's just comfortable, traffic is already a hassel so you want to atleast have a comfortable ride
you want more Power than an ordinary cruiser?
get a sports cruiser.
Suzuki Savage from 1990 here 😍 So happy with this bike! May be an old bike and not the fastest but i love it with every piece of my heart😇
I have a sports cruiser... best of both worlds.
I just bought my cruiser, grew up racing dirtbikes most of my life in the country, but this is my first road bike, and I gotta day I'm enjoying more then I ever thought I would, I am now a proud cruiser bro ;)
And ever since I got it, I watch all your vids Yammie thanks for the material to keep me busy during quarantine bro stay safe
Where is the adventure bike special? 🤔👌🏻✊🏻
im a cruiser rider but i even love adventure bikes they are the best they can go anywhere
Yep, Cruiser is my first choice and Adventure Is my second! I went through a short sport bike phase in my early 20s but only lasted a year thankfully really one of my major regrets in life is that year! And my step uncle raced superbikes at Daytona and as far as I am concerned where they should stay! Sport bikers around hear (West TN) are mainly jerks and a menace to all other vehicles on the road!
Agree 100% Love my cruiser! 95 magna 750. its to the point my cbr600 and 929 live in the trailer and I haul them to good roads or track to ride. On the cruiser most, ride my xt350 dual sport around the house or short trips. or sometimes haul it to ride it. the magna 750 is pretty fast, we call it a high speed cruise lol. hugs corners. great cruiser. not huge torque but a lot and its also rev happy and pulls like crazy revved up to 9 or so..10 is red line. v4!
What about ADV bikes? we need ADV’s vs cruisers and sport bikes!
Had my f4i for about a year now was traveling about 25 miles everyday for work and started hating it sooner than I'd like to admit
Casually stumbled upon your channel while looking into bikes, happy to say your videos make me excited for my first bike hahaha
Went with a cruiser as my learner bike too (2018 v star 650 classic). Keep these videos coming, they're awesome.
How did you like that as a starter bike?
I'm thinking about a first bike myself.
Cheers
@@breakingthemasks I loved it, sadly I had a motorcycle accident (4 years ago due to a car hitting me, left me as a paraplegic, if I could, I would ride again). It was great, I used to go for cross country rides every chance I had. The first week I probably had a sore ass but after that I got used to it. Lane Splitting was a little challenging but I technically shouldn't have done it at all as I was on my L's.
If you want to use a cupholder on a sport bike you have to do a dank wheelie and drink at the same time
Never had interest in riding a sport bike, and can't stand up on a cruiser, so I'd only buy a touring or standard position bike.
Also, great point that mechanical failure at 70 mph could put a damper on your ride
A great mix between both was the V-Rod, Harley sold 10.000 a year for 17 years but it wasn't good enough for them so was discontinued.
even better: honda v65 magna or v45 supermagna
The yamaha raider is a mix of all, pretty agile for a cruiser, 0-60 in 3.7 secs, 1/4 mile in 11.7 secs and has a million pounds of torque. Comfort is insane also
Being 6 ft 2 a lot of those cruisers just seem ridiculously low. I felt like I was sitting on a big wheel lol, but the seat was very comfy.
I hope you've realized your error since this post. You spend most of your bike time with your feet on the pegs, not the ground. Cruisers suit tall guys better with the feet forward. However cruisers also have their own flaws.
I'm 77 and still enjoying my 2015 Yamaha R-3. Granted I get off the bike and stretch my legs every hour or so but the same is true when I'm sitting in my easy chair at home.
Missing reason: the sound of a fat chop of a cruiser is much greater than the whine of a sport bike.
They're both still pretty cool though.
I satt on my dads cruiser. I didn't like the seating position at all. It just feels wrong to have your arms and legs in front of you, like a scooter. No thanks. But yeah, for those who like that kind of stuff, it's probably more comfy.
Edit: Some Harley riders kinda killed cruisers for me
Some Harley riders, you mean. The ones who watch too much SoA.
Well kawasaki makes a great cruisers my guy. Then you can dab instead of waving at people.
Same but i still prefer cruisers over sport bikes.
Biker BoyZ kinda killed sport bikes for me
Most cruisers are not Harleys, it's just what people think of when they think cruiser
I made the switch to a suzuki boulevard 805cc from a Gsxr1000 took me a week to fall in love now I'm hook on the cruiser
True story. If ya ride ya girl enough, you can invest in a cup holder. 😂
Awesome vid Yammo.
I have done two iron butts on a 1984 gold wing in 1988 however have knocked off a 638 mile trip on my road king in @12 hours so cruisers are capable its a matter of having a plan. And staying with it. Have owned a concours 1400 that could eat highway miles didn't own long enough to really go anywhere.
Own a triumph thruxton in addition to king. For the day rides much Fun. Bottom line two wheels are fun 😊
If u ride on the streets cruisers win...it’s really just that simple. Cruiser for street, track toy for track!
John Potter Naked sport bikes>cruisers
Naked sport is the only thing I’d consider. But it would only be as a second bike.
Relaxed ride, comfortable seat, easy to ride two up, throaty sound, raw simple ride.
More into comfort than speed although there are some pretty fast cruisers. I really dug that Road King I had and the VTX 1800 ripped it up, my next acquisition will be a Triumph Rocket III.
The vtx 1800 is fast ?
For me the most uncomfortable thing about sport bikes are where your wrists have too much weight on them and your legs are set too far back, creating torture in every joint. I can see this might be "fun" for anyone under 30 years old, but otherwise not. I like pegs forward and bars high, so for me sports bikes are out, quite apart from the fact that since most bikes above 35 hp can out accelerate almost all cars on the road up to the national limit, the only place for powerful sports bikes are the track. I find it astonishing that in some countries a learner biker who just passed a test can go out and buy a 100+ hp bike. Absolutely nuts. Equally, I find most cruisers too low. I think the most comfortable bikes are high bars, cushy seat and upright riding position.
the naked segment is for the older segment of riders that still want to corner hard...you sit upright have oodles of torque, can do long miles in the saddle, no weight on the wrists and still exciting, not bland and boring like a cruiser. MT09SP or MT10SP are 2 wicked examples, I don't think you guys get the SP's in the states...pretty sad really, you are missing out on a well-rounded missile that is upright and comfortable
Harley Davidson is the Eurosnob brand of modern day cruisers. They have so much character.
But they're heavier slower and more expensive and not as advanced tech wise. Nowhere near euro snob which have actual advantages
Indian is gonna hit hard in following years. They are selling well, are still uncommon to see (unlike a sportster) and have the looks and newish tech.
They're still pretty dope.
@@Shouziroku a friend of mine bought one new in Ireland, they making it big tbf!
"They have so much character." And chrome.
That's why I like my FJR: not a BIT of chrome on it. The time you spend polishing chrome subtract from your riding time.
I have the soul of a sport bike rider but 4 year ago I got a rocket 3 roadster the best choice of my life !!!!! the torque on this is just incredible but some time I miss revving over 10k rpm
I got both a Sport bike and a Cruiser.
Ahh, flippy the bike was a local. Brand new R1LM, rider THOUGHT he had launch control on. He was trying to qualify for his race license.
I have no idea why the track marshals didn’t notice it banging off the rev limiter.
A month later and Otmo have closed down ?
"Otmo Car Coverage We regret to inform the membership that as of Feb 7, 2019, we have stopped all business activity and will no longer be providing breakdown coverage for the time being. "
I have a Kawasaki Eliminator 600. Great bike. With full dress, it will lift the front wheel in 3rd. Best of both worlds.
Oh yammie what is ya doin baby
You forgot to mention the taller, wider bars that don't feel like they're attached to the front wheel spindle.
Hardly anyone rides cruisers in the UK.
Big soft cruisers are totally unsuitable for the roads and the weather here.
That and people will laugh at you when you can't get round all the mini roundabouts we have.
A great bike for the good ole USA, but that's where they belong.
I've heard good things about touring Europe on a cruiser. Especially through Germany
If someone cant get a cruiser through a roundabout made for a car they probably shouldn't be riding.
@swansea007791 im assuming you haven't rode a cruiser? I took my msf course with a cruiser lol. The tightest of turns most cruisers can go through
Except for the Triumph Rocket 3, perfect for the UK
Just bought my first bike and I’ve been looking at your videos for months before I finally decided to pull the trigger. Appreciate the vids keep it up
Get on a Africa Twin in Canada and you end in Argentina.
I'm a new rider and I bought a Kawasaki Vulcan 1500 Classic which I love -- its comfortable, yes, has TORQUE, and is pretty. Downsides have been a lot of repairs (its a '98). So I decided to get a second bike while the Vulcan is 'offline' and picked up a Honda Shadow 750 Aero, also a cruiser that I bought at a local dealer. (My son was surprised I didn't get a sport bike for the second one.) I like the comfort of both bikes, and the agility of the 750 compared to heavier 1500; I'm not into speed so much as comfort, and I don't care if I look like an old grandpa -- I'm 59 so I AM old and enjoying the hell out of retirement with two cruisers and my 29' sloop the S/V Mary Louise -- life is pretty awesome.
If i wanna be comfy il get a BMW R 1250 GS adventure
This old adv rider approves. Former 675 jockey with a ganky spine. Now rocking the 1200 explorer because Torque plus Triple plus Ergos = Happy Pants for loads of miles.
Ok... I was actually joking around yesterday to a mate of mine who just got his first bike, and I was sarcastically joking he should get a cupholder for his bike... 😂
But now I hear that's actually a thing.
The middle ground : road enduro bikes. Can have almost the same fun as with a sports bike, but still very comfortable to ride, even with passenger and luggage.
Once again, the short version of 5 reasons cruisers are better than sport bikes:
1. Comfort
2. Utility (more touring, but you combined them so what the hey)
3. Sound (the whiney cry of a crotch rocket is hard to listen to once you’ve heard the sweet sweet sound of a well put together cruiser exhaust.
4. Appearance (sport bikes are ugly. At least when compared to cruisers).
5. Torque (it’s just more fun than power🤷🏽♂️)
Torque is more fun in the real world. Yes.
Fast bikes are only fun in the illegal world.
And yeah. Sport bikes age fast and always look like insects with all those edges
Turning my cafe back into one with real bars on it😁, can't wait to not sit on my nuts and quit holding myself up. Hour ride yesterday killed my back
Sport bikes are not designed for long rides!
Sport tourer and Adventure sport bikes are better suited for long distance touring.
Cruiser bikes such as Harleys are made for American road conditions, straight stretches of smooth highways.
When it comes to cruiser bikes Honda Gold wing, Suzuki Intruder, Kawasaki Vulcan and Triumph Rocket, and Bonneville are really comfortable and has less vibes.
For long rides in any roads in Asia, BMW GS1250 KTM1200 adventure, Honda NSX 750, Triumph Tiger are better than pure cruisers.
Super sport bikes such as Fireblade, Ninja H2 are best on racing tracks.
As a owner of a Buell I can hang in both categories of sport and cruise :)
My Hayabusa is my "cruiser"... not even kidding...
If you really want comfort, get a dualsport bike (like the Honda Transalp). You sit upright, in a natural position with your feet right underneath your butt and your arms held in a pretty natural way. Kinda like you sit on horseback. It's no wonder that riders love this sort of bike for really long trips (Long Way Down, anyone?)
Seriously: Cruisers look comfortable with those big, sofa-like seats and a seating position that *looks* relaxed. But on longer tours, I was always getting desperate to get off my cruiser-bike and stretch myself. On a sports-bike, you're lying down on the bike head-first ... on a cruiser, you're lying down feet-first. Your body weight is spread all over the place, you can't use the pegs to stand up/stretch, and on bikes with more extreme ergonomics, you're forced to sit in a position that makes you look like the Hunchback of Notre Dame. Might look cool, but it feels horrible if you plan on riding longer stretches. Plus it's not a terribly good posture to be able to control the bike with your weight.
gotta get to that ten minute mark
"Leather Daddy's" and "Ball Shavers". You're funny as hell! Keep the vids coming.
He really trying hard to say tres, instead of tresh 😂
I was in the marching band , rode a ten-speed, got a real ten-speed, rode through injury and therapy until i remembered that one wild man in bible school who rode his dirt cycle clutchless and the bug bite grew,,,,,got a dual style last year!
Just asking, what do you guys think of the Kawasaki vulcan s
Sat on one. They’re comfy and look nice in person. I’m not a cruiser type of rider but I would get one if I didn’t love sportbikes and naked bikes
Jakob Kosec great
I have one, best cruiser for your money also one of the most reliable and powerful
I think they're class looking, never ridden one though xD
Light and nimble for a cruiser :)
I’m 25 and have had a R6, Shadow Phantom, Ninja 650 and now settled with the Shadow Aero... #1 reason that you missed.. my girl loves to ride and hated the sport bike in terms of comfort. I enjoy riding with her more than solo so cruiser was the best choice! Good video:)
There might be some reasons they're better but it doesn't mean you can make me get one. I'll fight you
ReL Corsa I use to be the same way. I started on dirt bikes when I was really young then went into sports bikes. it took my liter bike breaking down for me to finally cave and ride my buddies Honda Shadow for a group ride....I absolutely hated that damn bike for the first few miles. its slow, slow to turn.slow to accelerate. but my god I fell in love fast. it's so goddamn comfy. my back wasn't begging to straighten out, my knees didn't feel locked behind my ass and my wrist didn't get sore nearly as fast.
dude just jump on one and ride if for 10 miles. you will love it.
Went to switzerland, germany, france, england and turned back, once in London, to italy on my little 883xl. Forward controls, ape handlebar, la pera seat and the journey was so wonderfull. Next summer east europe!
Hahahahahahahahahahaha
Without the cruiser style of motorcycle a lot of older riders would not be able to ride. The trouble with cruiser bikes is they are so damned HEAVY. I have the lightest one that can be bought a XVS650 V Star and it is still very heavy to move around in my garage. I would like a cruiser style in a lighter motorcycle. The Vulcan 650 S is getting there but it is as ugly as my arse hole. I might be a 66 year old grumpy prick but I am still riding.
Finally a sensible video from this lunatic!!!! HAHAHAHAHA!!!!
