Hey if you can turn a bandit or a vmax into a fighter why not? Might be a bit of a struggle getting an aggressive stance into it.

If Ryder could (almost) keep up on his VT on the NFR then yeah, why not a cruiser, after all, its not always just about the bike is it?

Just want a turn key bike that can sit unmolested under a cover in my lounge room. Something to bring out for a ride when the sun's out...............and when everything else I own is in bits............

and I'm coming up to my long service leave where I work so I thought I'd treat myself to a "brand new" bike.................also my 40th, I figure a Trumpy won't shout mid life crisis like a HD would............lol

Scarey to admit it, but I took a Boulevard M109 for a ride around the block on Friday... honestly, I couldnt seem to get used to the steering rake.. Felt like I was fighting a battle just to get it to turn in...

Guess Im not meant to have a cruiser... no loss for me in my books..

I have a perchant for a cruiser-ish bike also. Something I can lazily cart a chicky-woman on, and for that reason alone. That's why I was considering a Boulevard but the Trumpy looks the goods.

Gotta lean cruisers into corners as apposed to turn them in and accept the fact that they are slow to turn. Once you get the hang of them, they're fun on big sweepers.

,aybe the problem is not the 'cruiser' bikes but the guys that try and ride them like its not a cruiser :D
will never forget the day when the HD rep at the motorcylce show convinced me to take the sportiest vrod for a spin a few years ago. i came back a very dissapointed chipmunk.
he wouldnt stop raving about the ground clearance and the good brakes and the awesome handling. i brought the thing back with 1/2 the pipes deposited around the homebush bay precinct and couldnt hand the keys back fast enough to him. im too much of a loon to ride a HD apparently [B)]
but sure if your after a cruiser to cruise on then they very well might be the bike for you :D
