The bike was my dad's, but he hadn't ridden it since 1991, and left it in the shed until 2016 when I asked if I could fix it up. I tore it apart and rebuilt almost everything (with almost zero prior experience), rode it around for a couple weeks before determining it was my cup of tea, and put it on CL. I think trades are more common with people who own their own businesses. 10/10. Would trade again.

Cruisers, baggers, choppers, west coast dynas, touring bikes, etc are all different styles - in the chopper world choppers get broken down into different categories too.Old school hardtail choppers are best as short run bikes, cool to look at and interesting to ride short distances with their kick starters, hand shift and foot clutches, and small gas tanks. What I will say is just like clothes and food and furniture people have different tastes and when it comes to riding some people like to ride a certain way. You have admitted you would probably only get back into riding if you doing track day only riding as you like to go fast and lean deep. This is not the kind of riding I like to do, so I don't own a track bike. I have a cruiser setup for bar hopping and some longer country rides. We like different types of bikes and riding styles but I still enjoy the tech that goes into fast bikes and the skill of MotoGP.

Problem was the rears were drums, so my guy painted fake red calipers onto the brake drums. From like 30 ft it looked like red calipers front and back, but inside 30 ft it was ridiculous looking

I know, I am resurrecting a cold one here, but regarding successful trading: I had an '87 GPz550 which I had fully restored to showroom condition. It never really suited me though (too small for me) so I unsuccessfully tried to sell it for awhile. I always eyed the bigger iconic GPz900R and wandering through our German equivalent of Craigslist I stumbled over an '88 GPz900R in black in beautiful original condition. The ad said that he did not want to sell but ONLY trade for a smaller GPz of that time. Perfect fit! After short phone conversation I trailered my fifiddy the 120km to his home, we both kicked the tires of each other's bike and the deal was done. No money exchanged, just swapped the papers. I still ride her with a wide grin. Sometimes things just fall into place in life. 👍🏻

I don't know a lot about choppers today (they all look barely ride-able, and harder to turn around than a semi), but back in my youth, the Harley v-twin was unique in it's endless (seemingly) torque. By chopping one, even lightly, you ended up with something truly personalized and skinny as all get-out. Combine that with the lowering effect of a hard tail, and you had a very compact, very powerful "sled". They all handled like $hit though, and today, I would never go near one. I'm a happy 2-Ducati family.

There are subtle differences. Less now than years past. Basically it comes down to these few options: Harley is air cooled. Within Harley you have the sportster, soft tail, and touring. Sportster is the lighter bike. Bar hop. Usually lower riding stance and retro looking to compete with triumph. Soft tail is aimed at the larger frame person, not obese, but 6’ or taller. Better suspension and bigger motor. Touring is bigger bags. Better suspension than soft and bigger motor. In touring, road king is entry level with zero electronics. Then you go up to the road glide with radio. Then ultra with three bags radio and gps. Different comfort levels is the difference in the cruiser market. I like my cruiser as I’m not in it for speed but to get away from the world.

The thing about cruiser is simple, the bikes handle and perform different from each other. Take Harleys for example, they shake like crazy, super loud, have an oil leak every other day, and they underperform a lot when compared to every bike out there. Yet somehow the power of nostalgia keeps their price from devaluating. Choppers on the other hand, seperate themselves from the cruiser market , by being super uncomfortable to ride. With that giant front tire, low seat, and awkward to steer with that high handle bars that will tire you out quick. For the most part, cruisers are for cruising. They handle really easy and are comfortable to ride long periods of time. Good ones have awesome horsepower to do those dope whoolies and blaze the quater mile. Cruisers for the most part give you that feeling of being free, while sport bikes give you that adrenaline rush.

Great question on why you would buy a 20k cruiser over a 2k cruiser. I have owned all kinds of bikes but my stable holds a 2017 GSXR 1000 and a 2018 Harley Road glide special. It comes down to the same exact reason why we don't buy a $4,000 2003 GSXR vs a $13,000 2017 GSXR, the riding experience. When you sit on an old cruiser like a 2005 Yamaha Vstar and then a 2018 Indian Scout/Harley sportster you will feel it. The parts are higher quality, the throttle response is more crisp, things just feel more solid. Apples to apples you can say the same thing about a 2018 Yamaha Vstar, it just feels tighter mechanically. You also feel better throttle response, more crisp brakes, no faded paint or chrome, newer technology. Once you step outside of the spec sheet and get into the riding experience and being proud of your machine, the price feels justified. Now if you are questioning niche 50k custom choppers... I actually can't relate to that (dead)market but then again people also buy 100k+ monster trucks and drive them on the street.

I think it is because the long-stroke V-Twins are easy to ride that they are more accessible - they drive just like a grunty car. So there is no dangerous learning curve like there is with sports bikes. Anyone can just go throw a leg over a Harley and you don't need to have good coordination or bother learning all the skills needed to ride well on a high revving machine. They are all the same so there is an increased need to customize and personalize each bike. What do you say Yammie - am i wrong?

Those big wheel Harleys are popular with black here in the South. See them a lot around Myrtle beach

Hey Yammie, I spent about 5-6 months trading a Fuji Film camera eventually up to a 2012 Ninja 250r with 6k miles to be my first real road bike. Lmk if you want the full story! Love the videos man! Big fan

I actually traded a bunch of old PlayStation video games for a 1973 Honda CB750 SOHC. It was pretty sketchy. The dude lived in the middle of no where TN. I showed up and stepped out of my truck onto a driveway made completely of bullet casings. Little weird dude came out, saw my Darth Vader hitch cover in the back of the truck and instantly became the nicest nerd on the planet. Needless to say, i quickly got the bike on my trailer and got the hell out of there.

Regarding Craig's list trading. When i moved to the state i live in now i sold my bike prior to moving and wanted something to get me on two wheels. First, I traded an AK47 for a beat up, but low mileage, mechanically sound, Honda (value, $600). I painted this, did some other minor work, and traded for a GSXR (value, $1500).did the same to the GSXR, and traded it for a nicer Honda (value, $2300). I traded this for a Suzuki with less than 9k miles (value, $2800). I rode this for about 19,000 miles and traded it for a 2year old victory with less than 10k miles (value, $6800). I now ride a very nice Victory Hammer in pristine condition, and i have less than $1500 invested because i do my own painting, and yes I'm very good at that as i am a professional, no rattle can crap. Final note...I currently ride cruisers and love them, but i used to ride sport bikes and will again. Not all cruisers are the same, but a great many are. Every company has offerings that are repeats of every other company, and then there are the extraordinary offerings, the unique and well made models that set them apart. Many cruiser offerings are attempting to cater to those that wasn't that Harley look but can't afford a Harley, and since they can't make 10 different cruiser models, they make one or two that are as generic as possible. The problem is that these generic style bikes are what sell the most in any bike shop. Most people buy lactose, gutless, wanna be Harleys with chromed out plastic and terrible style overall. These are great for learning to ride, or if you simply can't afford a better bike. The important thing is getting out and riding, whatever gets you out safely is fine in my book.

IDK about chopper style, more difficult to maneuver... Regular cruiser biles are comfortable with low seat height and feet forward design.
