As a guy who spent quite a lot of time on a CB 750 Nighthawk, I gotta say I love cruisers. On a sports bike, you are over the centre of gravity. On a cruiser, you _are_ the center of gravity. Makes the ride so much smoother, and more forgiving at lower speeds.

I LOVE my VS1400 !! Yes, it is Very different from a sport bike... but you are right that it is GREAT on winding country roads... But, because of the torque, it is remarkably Quick! But top end is about 120 mph or so... And those are the perfect bars for that bike. I added a small, contoured windscreen that just breaks up the wind around my face and chest, and that is all I need for just about any conditions.

My 92 has over 30,000 and appears and operates as new. My mileage is spread over multiple machines so the low miles is a byproduct. It is a superbly built motorcycle and mine glitters in tasteful genuine Suzuki accessories. Suzuki R- 9000 motor oil makes them silky smooth.

@painmagnet15 жыл бұрын
55K on a crotch rocket is crazy high mileage! They usually need a rebuilt before 50K but it's all about maintenance and most importantly, how the bike was ridden. Most supersports are revved a lot and ridden hard. Cruisers and touring bikes just get putted and freeway ridden so they typically go twice as long between rebuilds, at the very least.
