Which one would you get? I mean.... I wouldn't give up my ninja for anything but I know some NN people have them too.

I like choppers. Maybe I'm buying in to the fad a little. I don't care about the corporate theme bikes, but the really artistic ones are amazing.

I have it pretty even between two cruisers I like:

For a straight up HD I'd go for this:
HD Ottawa | 2012 FXDWG Dyna Wide Glide

For that custom chopper I'd go with these guys:
Griffin

What do ya'll like?

I love cruisers! However, I don't like choppers. I don't like their long wheel base. A custom bobber however, still cool! If I was given a new Harley, I would sell it and buy a Victory, if I wanted American....

I would rather do something like this:

Not bad spooph. I know with HD you mainly pay for the name but I like the trade mark sound.

Zandit- I like ducati's but why are most Italian bikes, unless purely for the track, naked? Mind you some nakeds are pretty damn sexy (lol) I <3 fairing....

spooph, that bobber is great!

If I HAD to get a cruiser. The VMax. Like the Ducati Diavel, it is a cruiser (sort of) but you still get aggressive awesome styling and brute force power. With the added bonus of riding with your feet under you.


For a more traditionally defined cruiser, I'd lust for the Yamaha Striker. Too big and expensive to meet my needs, but a good fantasy bike.


But, if I HAD to get a cruiser for my daily driver, hands down I'd have a Suzuki Boulevard M50. I know lots of owners, it's a great bike. 800cc, looks nice, and priced very reasonably. Easily adapts to luggage and windscreen for touring, and power for two up too.

Boar, now that you bring up the VMAX, that bike is amazing. NissanNinja (from Ninjette) and I got asses handed to us one day on a canyon ride by a vmax... The dude was crazy, no doubt. Flip flops, wife-beater, and a big old stogie on his face. Gosh, I wish I had a picture. Ran off the road a few times to, but he could ride, no doubt. Gravel, dirt, or pavement. Definitely out of our league. So I respect the Max... I'd rather have an older one though, the 1200cc ya know...

sportsters are ladies bikes tho i think
I dunno they are pretty small
I know 2 female owners
Nice bikes but without modding they seem feminine
Although i have a buddy whos getting one custom built and its a monster
All flat black custom pipes and a really wide front tire
Its kinda weird
Ill get some pics once its done. Shud be within the next few weeks

Post a pic, and no bike is a 'lady' or 'guy' bikes. There are bikes that work well for the I dividing!
