      Touring and even some naked bikes also sit you upright, probably even in more comfort than some cruisers which due to the forward bar and pegs actually make you slouch and your lower back hurt after a while.

      Sérgio Alves well said, I have a few bikes and I find a very slight lean forward and pegs directly under you to be the most comfortable. Upright hurts your butt and back after a while. Slightly forward puts you in to the wind but holds you up at highway speeds. Pegs underneath gives you better control. What I dislike the most about my cruiser (m109r) is constantly hitting the pegs at even low speeds around corners... compared to my other bikes anyway. To me, the most comfortable position is adventure bikes. They can go around corners with easy. Plenty of power. All day comfort with the right seat and a small lean forward with the handlebars. I have a Vstrom 1000. I also find my gsxs1000f to be super comfortable. Naked bikes definitely look better than Adventure bikes. But they do tend to grow on you.

Most importantly go into a dealership and actually play with what your looking at. I fell in love with the Indian Chief but I knew as soon as I sat on it that I wasn't ready for it but the salespeople pointed at the Scout and told me "Just try it".

      My first bike was a Honda Shadow 750. Super comfy, very forgiving handling, and the center of weight is nice and low. It was enough power to keep me occupied, but not overwhelming. The suspension was cushy. And the bike was easy to work on and parts cheap to come by.
      Cruisers get a “lazy riding” rap, but they can be ridden surprisingly hard. I’m in the market for a more modern naked bike now, but the Shadow was a great bike to learn on.

    Great video, Yammie, they keep getting better and better. I've enjoyed watching you fall into the deepest depths of motorcycle addiction with us! My dad bought me my first bike, a little 50cc suzuki dirt bike, for my 6th birthday and I've been totally addicted to motorcycles ever since. It's been 26 years since my first ride, and I'm just now (within the last year) getting into cruisers. I've always been more into sport bikes and dirt/ADV bikes, but last April I came across a project that I just couldn't pass up. I run a small lawn care service in the spring and summer months, and as I was mowing for one of my customers, I noticed an old bike under a tarp behind the guy's barn. I pulled the tarp back just to see what it was and immediately fell in love: a 1998 Triumph Thunderbird Sport. I'd never seen one in person, there aren't many Triumphs here on the Gulf Coast of MS, and I found this bike very interesting, An 885cc 3 cylinder, classic British cruiser. It was in rough shape, had been sitting outside under that tarp since the guy dropped it back in 2009. Luckily, the guy had kept the engine running and in good shape, he had originally planned to repair it, but got sidetracked with another project. I asked him about it and he told me that as he's gotten older, he can't comfortably ride on two wheels anymore and he was wanting to buy a trike. He offered to sell me the bike for $900, but i was able to talk him down to just $700. I just recently finished all of the major repairs and polishing the bike the best I can, and now I'm riding a sweet 3 cylinder Triumph with less than $1900 in the entire bike, insurance and everything included. Man, nothing sounds sweeter than a 3 cylinder Triumph. I never pictured myself seriously riding a cruiser as daily driver, but I LOVE this bike.
    I used to live in Austin, I recognize a lot of the places you ride in your videos. I hope to get back out there to visit some of my friends and ride some of my favorite scenic routes out there, and when I do, it'd be cool to get together and ride. Anyway man, love the content, it's getting better and better as you gain more experience riding. If you ever get a chance to ride a '98 Triumph Thunderbird Sport, I highly recommend it. It's a bit more sporty than a standard cruiser, the 885 triple has quite a bit more get up and go than I expected, it definitely doesn't ride like a standard cruiser!
    Keep up the good work and ride safe, my dude. Keep spreading the Triumph love, maybe someday they'll throw you some sponsorship! :)

    I love my cruiser, and you should check out the Boulevard M109R for a re-evaluation on the speed. It's not going to beat a -crock- crotch rocket off the line, but that 1800cc engine really moves, and the gearing is interesting.

      I fitted my 2016 M109R B.O.S.S. with floorboards and boy what a difference! And yes, that beast took many sport bikes off the line. She was fast. Power for days on the low revs. Only thing I would change is the bars. Those straight bars with the seat so far back and WAYYYY forward controls made for feeling like I was being folded in half and after a couple hours it was just too much (bad back). I was going to swap some bars out with something more in line with the bars from the Boulevard C line (C90) to sweep them back a bit more. I loved the riding position on my old ‘08 C90T. The fat rubber and long wheel base of the M109 also made for a lot of work doing low speeds around the parking lots but get her on the open road and let her stretch her legs and it was glorious!
      At the end my heart was broken though. Mama decided it was time for her to start touring with me and even though I had the pillion she was never comfortable on it. Said it always felt like it was trying to throw her off the back. Didn’t help when I confirmed her suspicions by telling her, “Of course she is trying to throw you. Susie is the jealous type.”
      Long story short, we put Susie up for adoption and brought home a bouncing baby Star Venture in 2019. That Venture is a good ride and runs much cooler after break in, but she’s no 109...

    I'm 6'3, and cruisers offer better distance between the seat and pegs than almost any other style of bike. There's plenty of tall adv bikes, but their peg position is often as cramped as a lot of naked bikes.

    • @darryllzwiers7257
      @darryllzwiers7257 2 года назад

      I'm gonna edit this. My m109r is still a beast. Heavy, powerful asf, will kill you if you think it's cornering about matches its acceleration. However, anything above 60mph tries to lift your feet off the pegs. No torso wind protection. It's lovely to ride on a still day. Terrible in modest wind. As stable as the bike is it offers no buffet protection for the rider. The wide tank and motor sweeps the wind in between your knees, forcing you to use muscles that nothing bit bareback horse riding would. I know, I've done both. I've owned 3 cruisers and the problem is always a constant. All of those faults start to over take the emotional joy you feel with a cool asf chromed out torque monster between your legs. Eventually common sense leads you to look elsewhere. Yet you'll still be reluctant to give your cruiser up. They're a scary asf bike. Even a meagre 60hp is deceptive. They're high torque and low Rev. Will accelerate fast enough to get you into trouble. Will corner poorly enough to make the trouble worse.. yammie is wrong. A lot of cruisers are far harder to handle than sports bikes. And people still try to ride them as fast as possible. I've whooped my mate on his ninja 400 on my m109r through tight winds. But I guarantee he was the one cruising and I was holding on for dear life 🤣🤣🤣

    Used to ride Ninja's for the most part, then I had a chance to ride an M109R B.O.S.S. After searching high and low for just the right one, I now ride it happily every day. It's the closest thing to being in between a sport bike and Cruiser. It runs low 10's in the quarter, and destroys the 1/8th. But it's still very fun to ride all day long. It corners better than I want it to, has more power and top end than I need, but ohhhh that sound! Its vicious.

    My first ever bike was a 2007 Honda Shadow Spirit 750, shaft drive. And, I must say.. I was really impressed. Extremely low maintenance, enough power to haul 2 full grown men down the highway without feeling slow (ask me how I know), and aside from normal maintenance upkeep, have literally had zero issues with the bike.
    For anyone that has never owned a cruiser, including papa yams, I definitely encourage you to pick one up. I bought mine with 800 miles on it for $3,000. And it was worth every penny! Also, very easily modded. Not a fan of saddle bags? Big windshields? Ape Hangers? Passenger seats? Sissy Bars? No problem! Make it a solo rider bike by turning it into a bobber. Or keep it as is for longer road trips with the wife/gf.

  • @SikterEfendi
    @SikterEfendi 3 года назад +1

    Exception to the comfort part. They just look comfortable. Feet forward and inadequate suspension are no good in absorbing potholes. Neither is the bent back forced by a combination with too far/too wide/too high handlebars. Cupped seats may seem comfy, but they fix your ass in a single position that gets very painful very fast. Granted, some cruisers are more comfortable than the others, but the core concept can't even hold a handle to a 70's UJM, let alone a modern dual sport or adventure touring bike (don't even get me started on real tourers or even maxi scooters). Additionally, the wind protection is either nonexistent or is a bad afterthought (fork mounted windshields? Ever tried one of those at highway speeds?). On the plus side, the tank is usually small enough to force you to stop often to relax and pose :).

    i really like the cruiser market and whichever one i get i will do a performance build but the question that holds me back is
    i like going fast but i like the style of a cruiser
    should i go with a 600 sport bike or that cruiser?

    It ties in nicely with another recent video, Best second bike. The Honda Shadow 750. 20 years ago I put just under 100k miles on one, and bought a used one not too long ago because they are just great simple bikes that just work. They ride like a Honda, so far fewer problems than HD... Oh and they can be found dirt cheap in near perfect condition!
    Currently four bikes in the stable, one is a cruiser.

    I started on an old Suzuki cruiser and moved to. 650 Yamaha. Rode along cruisers and sport bikes and was able to do a lot of mountain carving. The only issue is the lack of clearance when turning, so I scraped the hell out of the floorboards; but it wasn’t as fast as the sport bikes on the straight away. A lot of comfort , but the handling is up to the rider. I still have that bike. I ended up buying another motorcycle....a BUSA! The best of both worlds..does well on the So Cal mountains..👍😬👍

    I have both. I ride a 2013 Suzuki Boulevard 1500 with the wife and have a 2018 Suzuki GSXS-F 1000 for me to play on. Both fun in their own way.

    Most of the time, I ride a light touring bike, but I joined Club Eaglerider, so when I travel I rent H-D’s and have a great time doing what you said... just cruising around and enjoying the ride.

    Hey papa yam, you should buy and mod a Harley roadster 1200. Yes it’s a Harley but you can make it a real fun weekend/twisty toy that you still can daily drive. Just put some mods on it, like some clip-on’s or dragbar throw a set of rearcontrols on it and it and a exhaust and than it transforms. its a fun combi between a caferacer style bike and cruisers at least try it. Okey bye bye

    Not to mention mid 00s rad dad metric cruisers are dirt cheap with minimal mileage. A great way to start riding on a budget without having to worry about wrenching everyday.

    So, I've just come into riding in my 40s. I grew up around cruisers. Love the look and the aesthetic. My first bike is an 800cc Suzuki cruiser I inherited. It's been putting a smile on my face for about a month now. But it's been interesting. As I see the different bike communities online and in person, I am realizing that I'm a cruiser boy with the heart of a sport biker. When was the last time you saw a group of cruisers sitting at a red light having a dance party or trying to hit each other's kill switches or just actively having fun? I've never seen a cruiser rider with rabbit ears on their helmet? For people on motorcycles, cruiser riders really need to lighten up.

    I have a 99 Honda Shadow VT1100 spirit. I've ridden sport bikes, street bikes, and touring bikes. I prefer my shadow to the others. If I feel like "playing " on a bike, I have a 72 Honda 350 four. It handles all the playing I feel like doing.

    I didn't have enough money for the ridge wallet so I bought an RFID which was 20 dollars off of amazon and its coming in tomorrow, But I am considering buying a good bookbag for motorcycling, what would be a good company, should I stick with Ridge?
    Thanks for answering!

    Because the scenery looks quite familiar and I’m also from Texas. Are Texas roads as bad and dangerous for riders, as people say they are, particularly in the more urban areas such as DFW?

    I had bike accident back in 2020 and waiting for next surgery but I am still want to continue my bike journey. I had Hyosung 250R (it was fun but very heavy and difficult for my first bike), GROM (from this point I started to fall in naked and comfortable ride), and Z400.

    Good. Except 09:48. Cruisers cannot maneuver as good as non. They not only are heavier, but also longer, and the rake is more angled too (Choppers specially) which makes them not good to turn tight. 3 factors that make them lose in maneuvering with others.

    I just need to know if I can use the foot peg to climb on a cruiser. My legs and knees hurt very badly so I cannot swing my leg over from standing on the ground. When I try this my leg drags over the saddle bags and seat. I just can't lift it high enough.
