The reason I prefer cruisers is, I'm old and fat. I don't need to pull dank nooners or drag my pegs on the ground.. all I desire anymore is the wind in all three of my hairs and the bugs in my four teeth. Sport bikes are great and all.. and on short trips they're fun and flickable. But, on a long weekend ride. You just can't beat a two wheeled lazyboy. Not to mention.. old fat man like me has no business striding a busa with his belly flopped atop the gas tank. And his hairy, un-manscapped plumbers crack winking at the car behind him. 🤣... I apologize for the picture you now have in your head.

I'm not a cruiser guy but I definitely like a simple bike. Too much technological complexity makes for more systems that are prone to failure and a more difficult bike to repair and work on yourself. And unlike mechanical systems, electronic systems tend to fail instantaneously and without warning. Mechanical systems usually start to show signs and make strange noises long before they completely fail. This is the same reason I would never buy a Tesla.

All the points you’ve mentioned are valid. BUT, that’s why cruisers have a different clientele. People who want a cruiser they want a cruiser, they don’t want any of the sports bike functionality. You sound a sports bike lover, looking for the exact same qualities in a cruiser, never going to happen.

Number 1 is so very true. I bought my Sportster seven years ago from a dealership, put 45,000 miles on it, and had a low speed tip over thinking I put my kickstand down but didn’t. I needed to replace my handlebar, so I went into the same dealer. I’ve been looking at the Low Rider S for a couple years now, with no intention to buy it because of number 4 at $28,000 and some change walk out price. Long story short they encourage me to just ride it after telling them I have no intention of buying one. They told me I should just ride it in case I come up on $28k I want to burn in the next couple of years. After my ride, they wanted to negotiate even though I told them I had no intention of buying. The general sales manager of the dealer then told me “hop back on your 2009 Iron and ride it hard and long and remember that your bike is not the Low Rider S and remember what you’re missing out on”. In one statement, that guy took me from a fan of Harley Davidson, to never going to buy another one in my life.
@coreycallahan7443 7 күн бұрын
Sounds like a shitty dealership. I understand your animosity toward the brand due to the sales techniques the dealership employed. I was in car sales for a long time and it seems like a lot of Harley dealerships are being forced to adopt the annoying techniques used in the auto industry ever since they went away from the mom and pop style dealerships. I still love Harleys but I doubt I’ll ever buy another one from a dealership unless they stop requiring their stores to use high pressure sales techniques. That’s why I got out of the car business, I don’t like to pressure a potential buyer into making such a big financial decision before they’re ready. If the features and benefits of the product when properly presented don’t convince them to pull the trigger then browbeating them and hounding them will just drive them away. Just as it did in your case.

While I agree with many of the points can we stop comparing Baggers/Cruisers to sports bikes? They are bought for different reasons by a complete different set of riders and/or for a different mindset and ride style. Both are great for their purpose but you are doing a disservice by the constant comparison to sports bikes. It's like comparing a Truck to a Sedan. Can you compare them? Of course, but you are essentially comparing the towing capability of an F-350 to that of a Civic.

It's why I compare a cruzer to a touring bike. ( Goldwing ,concours,venture every just about every brand made a good touring bike with that specific purpose at one point ( except Harley just slapped bigger bags and faring on an already heavy big bike ). The early 1800 goldwings are amazing. The 1500s are known to go hundreds of thousands of miles.
@nhbountyhunter 2 жыл бұрын
And just like in the car world the curiser (truck) out sells the car (sport bike) 3 to 1. You can't say a type of bike sucks if it has a real purpose. Again that is like saying a truck sucks because it can't handle or go as fast as a pony car. I can fill my saddle bags with all I need and do 1000 miles in 24hrs (iron butt). Sure you CAN do it on a sport, naked bike, or ADV but who will be more comfortable. ADV have come a long way but being so tall, and needing at least a semi off-road tire really hampers a true highway haul.
@tomoates8568 2 жыл бұрын
@@thisisthewolf9521 Cruisers definitely serve a purpose and have a clearly large market. Just because you can also cruise on a sport tour or an adventure bike doesn't mean that a cruiser bike no longer has a place. If we're still making the car comparisons it's like saying I can haul large items in an SUV as well, therefore trucks shouldn't exist. The bottom line is that it's a great thing that we have so many different options, because it keeps the companies producing the bikes innovative and competitive

Cruiser: For comfort and 'cruising' distances whilst relaxing to that mighty rumble of the engine Sport: For ripping dank whoolies and carving up a track trying to break the sound barrier Minibikes: For short distance rides that makes you feel like a kid Dirt: For offroad adventures and motocross tracks whilst everyone thinks a lawnmower just whoolied passed them All others: *insert here* I think all styles have their ups and downs, but we are all bikers at heart and shouldn't be divided by what you are riding.

Going 100+ MPH when all other traffic around you is going 45, just because you have 180 HP is NOT enjoying motorcycle riding. Your middle finger gets a lot of work-out when the problem is you. These riders always find a reason to stop and rest after about 50 or less miles. Your brain (or what's left of it) is always in the red zone. Survival zone. That is mentally exhausting and you can't stay that way for long before you either stop to rest or get stopped by a guardrail or tree. I've been riding for 67 years. 29 motorcycles, both dirt and road, and I still have all my bones in tact. If you enjoy two wheels ride like you want to do it for years.

you love your POLARIS. Its a great motorcycle . But its not an Indian. They went out of business in 1953. What your riding has zero connection to Indian. Nobody from Hendee Manufacturing is even alive. The wig wam is long gong. Like I said that POLARIS is a GREAT motorcycle . But its a Indian in name only. BSA had the rights way back when and they made a verticle twin with the Indian name. [not an Indian] Then in the 1970s another company had the name and made mini bikes of all things with the Indian name WTF right? Then Rey Sottelo in Gilroy California had the name. He built bikes with S&S evo motors. Still not an Indian and even an insult to the Indian purist. He sold it to a group of investors from Canada. They got sued by HD for using a HD style engine.A federal judge said they needed a proprietary motor and transmission. They did the trans first and rushed a so called power plus engine into production. That motor was GARBAGE. Finally Polaris gets the rights to the name and makes hi quality bike that is so good they cancel the entire Victory motorcycle Company. But its still not an Indian. My uncle has a 1949 chief. THATS AN INDIAN

I do ride a cruiser. I agree with everything what he said. Being heavy, unable to do e-brake, non-street city bike, weight ratio. W/o a doubt it does turn a lotof heads on the road. But now im thinking to change to maybe a RE or triumph as my country is a bustling city and having a cruiser is tough to ride here.

Koop its tons of fun but it’s a fun I enjoy. I love cruising down windy country/mtn roads with nothing to worry about. I’ve never found enjoyment from trying to hit a corner top speed but I’m not saying those who do are wrong. I don’t think one type of bike is better than the other. Each type of bike is made for each type of rider that rides those bikes. It would suck if there was only one type of bike and we all had to ride that kinda bike right? So I just try to praise all bikers no matter what they are riding!

Ultimately it comes down to a difference in motorycling philosophy. The bond between a man and the simplest machine that gets you places feels special . We dont want to be the fastest, or carve the hardest. We just want to ride on two wheels and a rumbly engine thats as simple as possible, even at the cost of "performance". Also your argument should go both ways, yes most cruiser riders can't turn like the motocop. But frankly, most sportbike riders cant ride like Rossi.

ginger GIANT I didn’t remember specifying about about street glide? OP never even mentioned it. Not sure why you’re bringing it up. Yes it is simple. It’s a v twin with fairings and chrome. There’s no real engineering or anything that went into. Harley just slaps some crap on a basic chassis with shiny bits and prices the hell out of it. The CBR1000RR SP2 has ohlins dampers, adjustable shocks at the push of a button, adjustable throttle response, adjustable engine braking, adjustable traction control, adjustable wheelie control, ABS, titanium pieces, over 190hp from a hand built factory race engine that’s way smoother than a base CBR, actually engineering on swing arm geometry to allow side to side flex to keep the tire in contact when leaned over, big ass brakes, a GP quick shifter with auto blipped downshifts first clutchless shifting. It has all those features and probably some other ones and all that engineering and somehow costs less than your street glide ultra. Street glide has what? A wide seat, fairing and bags, a radio, and some abs with less than 100hp on a 500+ pound bike for $30,000. OG and don’t forget chrome, lots of chrome. Cause that’s totally an exotic material like titanium 😂

I didnt say an ultraglide or whatever other monstrosity harley is putting out these days is what I meant, in fact I can't really think of any modern examples of what I meant. But the notion still stands that simplicity is a quality to be valued in motorcycles and is found more-so in cruisers than sports bikes. Not that the engineering in sportsbikes isnt amazing, it's just not needed by most of us on the road, and having stuff you dont need while riding detracts from a certain experience.

@@wholelottamiata6976 there's no way I can justify the price of a Harley. Especially the simple models like the fat bob, or any other dyna models. I've never owned nor will I ever own a harley. Just due to the fact that I can't justify the price for one. Even a used one. I currently own a Yamaha Raider, and absolutely love it. I paid 8k for it and I definitely got what I paid for. And to answer your original question. The simple bikes are expensive because Harley can charge that much, and people are willing to pay out the ass for the Harley image. And in all honesty, comparing a high performance sport bike to a cruiser is a ridiculous thing to do. They serve different purposes in every aspect. It's like comparing muscle car to a McLaren. And I misspoke when I automatically inserted an ultra glide as an example for a "simple bike". My mistake

Saying cruisers suck is like saying “pontoon boats suck - they are slow and heavy and underpowered and can’t turn for shit - you should really buy a jet ski with 250HP”. And then you ride around the lake and EVERY cabin has a pontoon out front. So you see a jet ski racing up and down the lake, and the guy gets bored AF and then it’s parked, and the gang spends the next 5 hours out on the pontoon. Sport bike vs cruiser. Same thing.

No cruiser rider gets a cruiser for the performance. They are built for style and comfort, not speed. Your inability to understand that does not mean they suck. It simply means you don't understand what make a cruiser appealing to their target audience. It's like a harley guy saying Sport bikes suck because their spine torture ergonomics. No one by a sport bike because they are comfortable. Next up: Dirt Bikes Suck because they can't keep up on a paved race track with the Yamaha R1's. 😂

My HD Road King Special has ABS, Traction control, rain traction control, cornering traction control, cruise control and a couple of other things I don't remember. Most of these points are non-issues. Different tool for a different purpose. My 114ci can get me 0 to 60 in 4.2 seconds. Not sure I need it to be faster to go 500 miles comfortably, commute to and from work, or cruise relaxing to some SRV, Lucuna Coil and Jinjer, but if I wanted it faster I could upgrade it to a 131ci and squeeze upwards of 150+hp with 150+ torque, it just takes money. Road kings are extremely maneuverable and anyone (with some exceptions) can do what the cops do with training and practice with a stock bike. I have only had mine for a couple of weeks and I am already scraping my boards in U-turns and figure 8's. The challenge of learning it is a lot of fun for me as well. Your idea of fun and my idea of fun is different, I'm sure. If you are getting exhausted going stoplight to stoplight on a bike of any size, you're doing it wrong. Backing an 800lbs+ bike into a parking space can be taxing at first, but it's like anything else that requires exercise. After a while, it becomes a non-issue because you have built up your strength to do it. Expensive? Hails yes! (to be read in a southern Texas accent). It's the only thing I don't like about my RKS. Everything with a Harley badge on it is $$$. As for the social aspect: I think you just live in the wrong part of the country. Here in the Midwest, if you have 2 or 3 wheels, you're getting 2 down. It doesn't matter what bike you're riding. If you're broken down at the side of the road, we're stopping to help. Just remember we are all packing.
