    I've owned and enjoyed multiple styles of bike, but at the ripe old age of 46, and having a body broken down through time and misuse, comfort is a tremendously important factor in selecting a bike for me. If I'm not comfortable on my 90-minute commutes, I'm not riding. Fun fact: For me, as I am now, bending over a tank on a sportbike is not comfortable. Sitting straight up and down, but leaning slightly forward, on a sport-tourer or adventure bike is not comfortable. I need to be able to lean back a bit, stretch my legs out a bit, and not put so much pressure on my lower back or my arms. I loved my old SV650S. It was my favorite ride for a while. Even so, after riding from San Diego to Julian and back (including some time on the mountain roads in the area, like Banner Grade), which totaled around three hours of riding, I was so sore (nearly numb) that I didn't want to ride again for a couple days. Later, I did the same ride on the Boulevard C50, and I felt like I could do it all over again immediately. Comfort is important, and no bike does "comfort" better than a cruiser, unless you want a full-bore tourer - the Winnebago of bikes .

    @VeritasEtAequitas5 жыл бұрын

    I disagree about sport bikes dumping you and cruisers doing nothing if you cracked the throttle too hard. A lot of cruisers make massive torque at low RPM, which means that power comes on instantly when you may not expect it, and you don't have to rev it up into the power band to make things dangerous. this is where number four comes in. Cruisers are specifically designed to have usable power at a very broad RPM range, not tunes for peak power only. Crack the throttle too hard on a torquey. V-Twin, and that back tire might just start spinning

    There are more than 2 bike classes, adventure bikes and sports tourers are also popular. Basically people ride what they like and generally don't necesserily care for much of the others. I've never liked riding sports bikes as I don't find them comfortable and I don't want to ride on the edge all the time. I used to enjoy adventure bikes but now I just love large cruisers with comfort and power plus somewhere to stash your stuff. Mine is a 1500cc Honda Valkyrie and sports bike riders regularly slice me up to prove how fast they are but I doubt they will continue riding on from the UK to somewhere like Rome which is one of the places I've ridden to on it. There is no BETTER bike - it depends on what you want to ride and how you like to ride it.

    Sport bikes are not designed for long rides! Sport tourer and Adventure sport bikes are better suited for long distance touring. Cruiser bikes such as Harleys are made for American road conditions, straight stretches of smooth highways. When it comes to cruiser bikes Honda Gold wing, Suzuki Intruder, Kawasaki Vulcan and Triumph Rocket, and Bonneville are really comfortable and has less vibes. For long rides in any roads in Asia, BMW GS1250 KTM1200 adventure, Honda NSX 750, Triumph Tiger are better than pure cruisers. Super sport bikes such as Fireblade, Ninja H2 are best on racing tracks.
