Stupid question, the oil is exactly the same 10w/50 engine oil for both transmission and engine is that right? Thanks

Yamaha 1900 is THE pick. Any twin cam Harley is a good mention, and if I had to pick one they Dyna makes sense. Im not sure the goldwing "counts" and I dont see them for $5k, but the Valkyrie... Id mention the Warrior too, ahead of the (admittedly cool) Fury. Rocket is fun. But those are 2.3 not 2.5 and not 165hp. Still cool For my bonus round Id mention the Vulcan S if someone wants something more middleweight and modern.

The Roadstar is a good call. The shadow is the obvious answer, dont know how it didnt make the cut. The last magnas were great. The royalstars are interesting. I dont really see VN900 at this price point. The Suzuki 800s are a great deal. Those would be the 5 Id mention. Id also empahsize at this price point to carefully consider the tires and forks, if they need attention youll be laying out a pretty good chunk of the bikes value to correct them.

Liquid Silver!!! I have one in this color as well. Very uncommon colorway for a Sports bike. Super happy that I found her .

I wish it was as easy to do with a 600-800lb cruiser.

I've started tying my ramp as well when loading. Been there, learned that lesson the hard way 😂

Hi I just picked up a 2006klx 250bso far I love it I still have 2 kx 500s big difference I know but now that I'm 63 it's time to down size so some one before me put adjustable links on the rear and id like to know what the length was on the little side dog bones from eye to eye it looks like you have a couple help me please thank you so much I will be watching more videos I like what I see good job 👍🙂

Curious, why you have a royal Star (V4) as the link click picture, but don't include it?

i guess you are not Suzuki fans i would take a c 50 over all your small bikes and c90 or c109 over all your big bikes Or the M versions i just like the look of the C versions more :-) but if the budget is a bit more the VN 1700 the yamaha 1900 and the vtx 1800 i would look at ;-)

Dude did it in flip-flops. Great video, invaluable info. He's got my respect.

Click bait no rstd

I’ve been riding for 50 years and I still love $2500 bikes. Bought one last month.

I have owned three of these bikes. I had the Yamaha XVS 650 v-star for a couple of years. It was a very good bike. I actually like the looks of the classic one better than the custom. The only problem with that bike is that to me it seemed a bit too low geared for the interstate. 5th gear is shorter than it should be and there is no 6th gear. Nevertheless, if you don't mind running at sorta high rpms on the highway then you won't have a problem with this bike. It will go 70 mph all day with no problem. At 80 it seems a little strained. I also had the Kawasaki 1500 vulcan. It was a big bike, pretty heavy but once you get it moving it's fine. It was fantastic on the interstate and you could cruise at 90 mph all day with no problems in spite of the fact that the ones before the year 2000 were just a 4 speed. Only problem with this bike is that when you shift from 1st to 2nd the tranny will make a grinding noise unless you put a little pressure on the shifter before you pull in the clutch and shift. Also it gets bad gas mileage. Finally I now have the Honda VTX 1300 spoked version. I have owned 13 bikes and of all of them it is by far the best. I have put over 100,000 miles on it and it did that many miles without any mechanical problems on the engine or transmission or clutch or shaft drive. Amazing. It's powerful, it's pretty fast, it handles pretty well for a cruiser and it sounds great and looks great. It isn't slow... I got it up to 113 mph gps. I still have no rust in my tank after 15 years but I didn't let the bike just sit. I ride it year round so the tank is fine. I did have to adjust the fuel/air screw on the carb because it was cold natured until I did that.

#1: Kawasaki VN 750 Vulcan. Each contributor has but only so much experience and knowledge. I have been riding 49 and a half years, I have owned 10 to 12 bikes at a time for most of my adult life. I have bought and rode just over 50 bikes in the last 3 years. I currently own just over two dozen bikes. I compare bikes from different categories to what I still call the standard. It's hard to find a better example than the Honda CB750 series that ran in one iteration or another from 1969 to 2003. It is my impression that cruiser riders do not demand good handling. I live 20 minutes from Skyline Drive and I ride twisty two lane mountain roads to get there. By way of comparison, Cruisers compel me to slow down riding up and down mountain roads compared to my 2003 Honda CB750 Nighthawk. I won't bore you with a long list. Suffice it to say that I can relax and ride my Vulcan 750s like a standard. That does not include the Vulcan 1500, or Vulcan 800. I will confess to not riding the Vulcan 900. A corollary to this story is that the first gen Suzuki Intruder 800 is a surprisingly good handling cruiser, not the Intruder 1400s. No, Sportsters do not handle nearly as well, a Roadster is not bad, but then it's a standard, not a cruiser. Shadows need not apply. The VN 750 easily bumps off the Yamaha XVS 650, I have ridden both.

I Love DR 200

Thank you buddy this is what I needed. If you have time make a video on how to replace fork boots!

Kawasaki Vulcan VN800 1996-2006 👍👍 V-twin, single carb, 5spd, chain drive, 525 lbs, disc front, drum rear, looks & sounds great.

Do you guys have instagram for this account?

I like the cruiser look but don't like the cruiser weights. I owned a 2001 Kawasaki Vulcan 500 LTD. It weighed 438 pounds with 51 horsepower. It was just as quick as the 800 cc motorcycles of the time because it was 200 pounds lighter. It wasn't a comfortable ride. It was sold after a year with 8000 miles. Even that 650 Yamaha weighed 550 pounds. Someday I want to try riding a cruiser in the 800-1600 cc range just to see if they are really more comfortable and worth the difficulty moving them around while parking. I'm not a poser. My current only motorized vehicle is a 125 cc scooter. It will go 55 mph and weighs only 237 pounds. It is easy to move around. I can push it on grass or dirt with ease. Doing that with a huge motorcycle is very unlikely.

Dunno how the shadow 750/1100 doesn't make this list.

nice exhaust!did you have to add a power commander

Thanks, I'm going to sell my tracer 650 learner bike here in Australia and buy something different.

vulcan vn 1500 and vn 1600 and vn 1700 and vn 2000cc

Mini jeep?!

You lost me at paintballs🤷‍♂️

Anyone know what dirtbike that is??

As a super X owner, this was a little sad to watch.

I spent 2700 for my 1999 Shadow 1100, but it needed tires. Live and learn. I still own and ride it, so it's mechanically sound. I've jumped on the highway a few times, so I'm glad I have the extra power.

Hell yes
