Saw this bike over the weekend, I'd love to have this as a second bike. Post a pic of your favourite cruiser if you were to ride one.

I committed a sin! :crying





:suicide

^^ a fatal one :shifty

My Dad's Valkyrie. Same color scheme as this one, but without the fairing and luggage. It used to have them, but he bought it salvaged after it survived a garage fire and he left them off, as well as no back rest of the rider

I don't think so - unlike cruisers, function has higher priority than form on that...

Honda magna, v65

Harley V-Rod

Well but that is the point, function = form. :dunno Also it has nice I-6 engine that doesn't bother you with tremendous amount of vibration like V-2 on harleys do.

something with "similar" acceleration as a sportbike, including a few of the bikes already mentioned. here are some articles i was reading when i considered replacing my 750 with a cruiser

but damn are these big boys heavy! = longer stopping distance ;(

Fuckin' V-MAX!!!

I saw one with a supercharger and nitrous once......that's what I'm talking about. It probably made like 135 hp lol

What I meant was cruisers: appearance > performance, comfort, etc.

The K1600 is an awesome tourer :cool

None, I would rather quit riding if it came to that..Sad isn't it?

Carbon edition of course.

Not really, I'm the same...

Victory High-ball or something my father built for me. He builds customs but not really my thing; I'd have him build one just for sentimental purposes.

I could see myself putting some serious miles on one of these:
Victory Crossroads

Problem is, I wouldn't want to ride it every day; just on trips.

IMHO, this is the best cruisers ever got in terms of all around performance:
The Yamaha Warrior. They handle well, they have cornering clearance, a good suspension and brakes that actually work. My brother owned one before a loser in a minivan wiped it out. It was an awesome bike to ride. :punk

i like the victory vision for cross country touring. very nice and comfortable and with built in drop protection too!

Warrior, Stryker or Suzuki M109 got the votes here.

No love for the Vmax?

About time. As soon as I saw the title, there was no hesitation from me

Fuckin' V-MAX!!!

new stocker makes 104 lbs of torque. What's not to love

No love for the Vmax?

To me the mighty Max is the ultimate UJM (Universal Japanese Motorcycle); more of a standard than a cruiser. There's no denying that it is 100% bad, mean and nasty, but I just don't consider it a cruiser.
Boy, I'd love to have one though. That V4 sounds like the fury of Hell itself with a set of pipes! :punk

Rode the Vmax, bought the Diavel Carbon.

Vmax is awesome and powerful, but handles like a barge. The Diavel Carbon is almost identical in the acceleration, but outbrakes and outcorners it by a huge margin.
