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'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.

Exactly. Use the right tool for the job.

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

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.

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?

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.

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.

Novel thought: No matter what kinda motorcycle you get, it will have pros and cons. and there is simply no such thing as a absolutely perfect bike.

I think modernizing the cruiser could help save the motorcycling industry. A lot of people are scared away from riding because of that hooligan image and nature, which cruisers don't have. As usual Honda is leading the way making truly beginner friendly and modern cruisers that work well even if you don't want to find out what a dank nooner is. I hope other manufacturers jump in.

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.

No cruiser rider wants to lean hard, jump curves or do wheelies, they want to take it slow and enjoy the road, and i think they're the perfect comfy bikes for that

I cruise around on my Low Rider and I have never looked the part with my hi-vis HitAir Vest, but my 2nd ride is a 2018 Goldwing Tour DCT. Kind of a cruiser, kind of not. Great video, thanks.

I love my cruiser but I don’t like Harley-Davidson to much. They are over priced for what they are.

That's the reason I bought my 48 special. It's a good ride and pretty fun, but it's mostly so my family can have something to either sell to help pay for shit or have as a reminder of me after I pass on. I love riding my honda too but it it wouldn't be able to pay the bills for a year if my family had to sell it when I die.

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.

Some like sleek and speedy, some just like comfort. Depends what you’re going for.

So like, what confused me is when you mentioned the Softail Standard. I have one of those, year 2020. Came with ABS and a security system right out the gate, and I paid 14k for it. Granted, even though the bike never had an owner, it was the "GM Sample" bike (the one that's used for pictures and ads) so it already had 3.5k miles on it. Did I just luck out with what my dealership offered me? Or did you get incorrect info?

Starter bike was a cruiser I inherited. Did multiple wet-night rides in my first week, then a long haul 12 hour cruise across the state with 2 slow spills. Literally any other bike would be uncomfortable, uninteresting, ran out of fuel, destroyed by hipbone and probably wouldn't motivate me to build muscle. The real skill comes from staying calm when it's all in your hands. The insurance tho; fk me I do need a 650

But you will end up with one eventually. Maybe a V Rod or a Honda VTX. Now we're talkin.

Not all Harleys are cruisers and not all cruisers are Harleys.

I have to say, YES, I can do that on a road king because I took motorcycle training courses. But those skills were learned in the basic riding course. And it feels amazing to say I can do that.

Cruisers have a different use. If you like speed and certain other thrills go for a sportsbike. Cruisers are badass, choppy beautiful sound. And comfortable for a nice long ride!

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!

Most cruiser riders would be better off with an adventure bike, but that ignores the reason why they bought a cruiser - to join the club. They often don't even enjoy riding.

Apples and oranges, man. Not even worth trying to compare the two.

Who would have thought there’d be trade offs depending on your riding style and associated motorcycle🙄

I put 35k miles on a road king. Practiced tight turns. Took GF into the mountains. Then I added a tenere 1200 to my garage. After 4 months I traded the road king for a tenere 700. I couldn’t believe how much more fun these bikes are.

Man's out here talking ab how much cheaper all these bikes are but they forget that "Harley Davidson is an all American company"

Every time this channel makes a video like this about cruisers I just laugh because nothing mentioned has anything to do with what make a cruiser appealing to begin with. 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. 😂

I have found in my experience with riding and waving to other riders that sport bike riders are less likely to wave back than cruiser riders. Maybe that's because I ride a Harley. Maybe it's because the sport bike people need to hold on tighter because their bikes are to light. Not really sure. Just my observation.

Exactly, I don't understand the myth that Harley riders don't wave back... Maybe it's because I'm not in America, but the ratio is about 30% for sport, 90% Harley (of course there is always the case when it's not safe for the biker to wave back). Maybe it's because he's riding a sport bike, and maybe it's because he's in USA, or probably is Dunning-Krueger effect combined with confirmation bias.

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.

Cruiser guy here, can confirm they swallow (petrol), and don’t spit (flames). All jokes aside, though, I like ‘em because i’m a chicken and I’m scared of taking fast corners. I wanna twist the throttle, make a big noise, feel a G or 2 on acceleration, roll of the throttle and be back down at the speed limit all in 4 seconds. Yeah you can do it in a sportbike but they flick out and wheelie, but I’m 6’ tall and I feel a bit cramped on sport bikes, so I like a long, laid back and comfy thing that rips hard for 2 gears and runs out of legs before it’s scary
