Why a Cruiser? | Why did I buy a XVS1100 or V-Star 1100

[@twowheeldawg1190]

Love a good cruiser! The sound and cool factor of a cruiser is like no other!! Just kick back and RIDE!!!! Beautiful country you are riding through. Thanks for sharing.

+Two Wheel Dawg thanks brother couldnt have said it better myself! 😆

Nice ! I just bought a 2009 Candy Apple Red XVS1100A with Vance Hines pipes and I put heated handlebar grips and quadlock. Loving the long trips. I used to enjoy my XVS650 for the Sydney commute but the 1100 is definitely more fun on the open road now.

[@iRidetas]

They have conciderable more punch than the 650 but i still like my 650 too, its lighter and more nimble but as you said not as good as the 1100 on the highway. Enjoy mate!

[@mikeanglada742]

Love my '05 1100... nice vid,,, messes with my head a little though being on the opposite side of the road! :D Happy Riding, Mate! Cheers from across the pond. ;)

[@iRidetas]

Thanks for watching, i have a few more xvs1100 vids on tje channel! Cheers!

[@phdcredible5211]

Good on ya, mate. I ride a 650 XVSA Classic Silverado edition. It's a 2008, with only 20k mileage and looks/ rides like a showroom bike. I love Yamahas. Thanx 4 sharing , my friend . Ride safe, ride often,... just ride. Peace, from Canada.

[@iRidetas]

+Phd Credible thanks bro. Vstar 650 are an awesome bike ridden one many times. Beatuiful and very popular bike in australia. Enjoy!

[@sheridancowling6257]

I love these bikes. I started riding 6 months ago on a 91 Virago 250 and 2 months ago I moved onto a 99 V Star 650 Classic. Once I'm fully licensed I'll move onto a 1100 or 1300 V Star Classic but I plan on putting on a sidecar so I can take my daughters out with me and take them to school.

[@iRidetas]

Lol that was my progression too basically, then my wife learnt on the 250cc. Vstars are great bikes! 😀

[@sheridancowling6257]

@@iRidetas I have 2 mates that also have 650 V Stars and another mate that wants to get one.

[@PhatCruiser]

All very worthy reasons to go Yamaha and that bike is a beast mate! 👌

[@iRidetas]

+Phat Cruiser thanks PC im SO happy with it It is such a nice bike to ride and sounds awesome 😆😆😆😆

[@OldManTony]

I've never ridden a cruiser, but I keep promising myself a test ride to see what I might just be missing!

[@iRidetas]

+OldManTony lol its the sound and the torque Tony thats the selling point imo. Its always worth a test ride for the fun of riding a new bike!!

[@phdcredible5211]

OldManTony. For your own benefit, do it, Sir. You shan't regret it. I haven't. Peace and ride safe, from Canada.

[@MikkosFree]

Got my cruiser today, just a China made Superlight 200. But damn, this thing is so comfortable to ride. The leg position, your back, it's like sitting on a lounge chair. Then it gives you this sweet roar, which I imagine is so much more powerful on a real cruiser beast. I love my sportsbike, but this cruiser is what I will be riding everyday for my commute to work. Cruisers seem to be made for long rides and you aren't in a hurry.

[@iRidetas]

+Mikhail Galatinov i started on a xv250 virago and it was an awesome bike. Wish i hadnt sold it!! Enjoy your new bike!

[@Doticaster]

Loved the twin sound, even though mine was only the 125, she still had a nice purr. Yeh man can't beetm for reliability. Tcrs fella ✊

[@iRidetas]

+Doticaster I agree doti! I had an bullet proof vstar 250 which was very similar to your 125 twin as my first bike and it sounded amazing and with a few well placed drill holes into the muffler even better!!!! It fueled my love of bikes and riding and now i feel ive come full circle home onto its big brother. I love this bike (still love the others) but i love the v twin! 😆

[@james82744]

As much as I enjoyed the off road rides it's good to see some of the country from the road again :-) .... nice ride dude.....

[@iRidetas]

+viperNohio thanks mate i hope to mix up the 2 to a more 50 50 split! :)

[@lionelhowell4972]

these are great bikes, and very easy to do all maintenance yourself.................

[@iRidetas]

lionel howell i love this bike mate! 😁 cheers!

[@gasolinescream3588]

Dude I’ve got £4K for my project, little bobbed cruiser. Had 2 Sportsters before and never again, both were money pits. Looking at a 535 Virago, will give me plenty of funds for the build and at the end I’ll have a cracking little bike for some summer fun.

[@iRidetas]

That mate will be a sweet little cruiser. Just sold a sportster recently as it was turning into a money pit. So i hear you. 535 are not real common here i would like to at least ride one to see what they are like! Enjoy that project! 🙂

[@gasolinescream3588]

Yea the 535 is a cracking bike and ideal for how and where I ride. Prices and parts aren’t an issue and like Gilby they are a great base and easy to work on. Take care fella👍

[@iRidetas]

Cant wait to see a video or two on the 535 as it evolves!

[@NinjaLifeCrisis]

Nice shiny new bike dude! enjoy!

[@iRidetas]

+Ninja Life Crisis thanks man I will 😆

[@faithbiker8262]

Beautiful country sites.

[@iRidetas]

+faith biker Thanks mate. Will try and bring you more beautiful country side on road now as well as off! 😆

[@gazwa6107]

[@iRidetas]

+Gazwa610 thanks mate its a great bike! :)

[@aalmeida]

[@iRidetas]

+Almeida.s _ thanks mate! :D

[@Hellishrider]

Great bike man, now you just need some nice apehangers!! \m/ Ride in peace

[@Hellishrider]

check the 12" that I have on my Shwarley ;) nice to set the second camera on it!!

[@iRidetas]

+Hellishrider bike looks awesome mate! A 2nd angle would be cool too!

[@iRidetas]

+Ridin' Country lol! A handy benefit to looking cool! 😉

[@RidinCountry]

The metrics can have all the handling they want cause they're still not a cruiser! 😉 I really love that bike, such a classic look from the angle you have camera.... and that's the reason why I will always own a Harley, it allows me to own a bike cause the value it holds. It's incredible. Nice ride mate! Good to see you actually have roads there! Lol!! ✌️😉

[@iRidetas]

+Ridin' Country oh its the cruiser wars starting already 😂 lol thats the only road in Tasmania and ill ride it in every video just to piss everyone off!!! Yup you said it. I pretty glad i didnt buy the xvs1100 new and then sell it for what i paid for it thats for sure but it is a really cool looking and classic looking ride!

[@02bigkev]

Harley's are a great bike just over rated and over priced. great vid mate. RSM8

[@iRidetas]

+02bigkev i agree for sure! Nothing beats the sound of the harley but im not going to pay 3 times as much for one when i got the stsr for a steal! Thanks mate! 😆

[@joracer1]

Why? Because you are smart.... for the money one can't buy a better bike..... the only problem, is you take off pipe for oil change, but that a great time to clean you pipes... a sportster are you crazy, I've owned 1, ridden several, a sportster is a huge down grade from a v star, you must have never ridden one, the v star is more inline with the fat bob...

[@iRidetas]

Mate I agree with you, but don't tell me I've never ridden sportster, I've owned a couple and ridden many more! My channel my opinion! And yes the Vstar is a better bike absolutely! Thanks for the comment! 👍Cheers!
