Kind of a shame a big cruiser with a whopping engine like that is likely really slow.  :roll:

....but only for the first 5 or 6 fast sweepers until you get about 75 pounds of floorboards and pipes ground off of it......
Less weight = more speed.

That bike does nothing for me but I am in the minority. The local dealer is throwing these things out the door faster than anything.

I'm not much of a cruiser fan.  I sat on one at the Bike show this winter.  Nice looking and a nice feel but it had a LOT of plastic on it.  I suppose this is to save weight and cost.  Suzuki does have real "chrome" accessories you can buy for it.  Personally, I'd rather buy performance parts that lighten a bike than weigh it down with doodads but I guess thats why I'm not a cruiser guy.

I cannot for the life of me figure out the cruiser thing.  I went out yesterday afternoon and saw literally dozens of cruisers over the course of 2 hours, maybe one sportbike, and that's it.

All I can come up with is that there is maybe a lot of attempted compensating for something going on.  

They all know they're big, fat, heavy, and slower than sh!t, right?  :roll:

That's what I want!  To be outrun on my 1800 by every kid on a 600 sportbike!  :lol:

You are so bad!  Both of those are vertical inline fours and faster than snot!

And handle just as bad as any cruiser.

 :btw: There are some modern cruisers that are fast and quick... like the V-Rod, Warrior, V-Max, Mean Streak, M-109, Rocket III...

I forgot about the V-Rod & V-Max, and the Rocket III?  That thing ain't no cruiser, it's a truck!
