I love the line up
you disappointed me a bit. you are my go to guy for the latest EV news. just don’t tell me that there isn’t a single electric cruiser bike that could be fetured in this video!
Honda Goldwing?
Ducati is not a cruiser that daggone thing is I was freaking naked sports bike
Motorcycles are enjoyed by many for their versatility. There are so many styles and classes that any fan of two-wheelers could find his own. Cruiser motorcycle style is one of the most popular and favored ones, especially among fans of American bikes. This video can become your guide to choosing the best cruiser bike. Which one would you pick for yourself?
Suzuki BLVD is the best cruiser out!
If I had the money I would get the Indian Scout! ……. but I have waited too long, and now Retired and on a fixed income that will just let me own a peddle bike.
My pick? It would have to be the Vmax 1700. I owned a Vmax 1200 and liked it a lot (should have never sold it). Nothing like the V-boost when overtaking a fast moving logging truck!!!
hey Honda, will you pleased bring back the 750 Magna?
i pity the girl that had ti sit on the back of that Xdiavol !
Since Polaris killed off the Victory line, I can’t bring myself to thinking of owning an Indian. I would be wary of a company who disenfranchises an entire segment of their community.
I don’t know where your prices are based from but here in Australia you would not even get a used model of any of those bikes for the dollars you quote as new price.Example a Triumph Rocket 3 around 2008 will cost $14000.
If owning a Harley means overpaying, so be it! Harley all the way!
a classic cruiser with a modern electric motor – sounds as American as it gets!!!
Sorry but I’d rather push a Honda than ride a Harley
I’m an old Harley guy, but the Triumphs Bobber and and their new “bobber stly 2-up version (not shown here) have given me the bug. The Indian and Yamahas do nothing for me.
Suzi M109r
Gold Wing is a touring bike, not a cruiser.
My favorites are the Indian Springfield and Harley Road King. Big classic bikes, but without the fairings and crap of most tourers.
very well done. I love the video. perfect for me. thank you
