Cruisers are slow.

Find me a sport bike that weighs over 700lbs with a 300lb rider on it that will do 150 and I'll be impressed until then I'll keep my HOG.

Cheers,
Scotsman
 
Cruisers are slow.
But they aren't designed for speed.

Some people dig poking around all slow and shit.
Cruisers, Harleys specifically, are more about a culture/lifestyle than anything else.
 
Both wil get you there but the Harley will get you there and you'll look good doing it.

We are made to be heard first...Then seen..We care about the ride..Not how fast we get there.


actually, with my Vance and Hines Big Shots, and my Patrick Racing 131" motor, I am the loudest and fastest thing around..:D
Not a crotch rocket around catching me and positively no 600.....or R1 or Zx12 or RC51 or GSXR 1000......1rst through third gear there's nothing touching me.....now on the highway....I give in to rice riders hands down....but stopligh to stopligh you're all mine......:D

I'm dubious of that, ever race a Hayabusa? Or an MV Agusta?

Who cares.....a GSXR 1000 the fastes hole shot crotch rocket around....I'm not talking about top end bro.....were talking 1rst through third gear....a GSXR 1300 is built to go 200 mph stoplight to stoplight.....and Italian bikes are a lot slower than either of the Suzuki's......but my chopper will smoke pretty much anything it come up against...I'm putting 164 hp to the ground bro.(without the nitrous shot, 177 with nos) .....name a bike that does that.....;)

Only a cruiser needs NOS :)
 
Sure, pure acceleration and speed are kinda fun, but I get most of my kicks riding the twisties. I couldn't care less how quickly my bike can accelerate or the top end. It's about overall design, not slapping a big engine in a machine that can't turn.

I live in a major metro area, so even on the highways, there are few opportunities to go 120+ anyway. And if I get caught, that's a lot of jail time even for 120mph and even though I have perfect driving record. :(

If I had the cash, I would get a cruser just for the hell of it, though. Sport vs cruiser are just different and they're both fun... just in slighly different ways...
