Hey everyone my name is Jeff and I've been riding a sportbike (Honda CBR) for quite a few years now. I have always loved cruisers, even had a VStar 1300 for a short while, and I'm getting kind of tired of riding the CBR. I want to get back on a cruiser and trade-in or privately sell my CBR.
I went into Mission Motorsports in Irvine, and they had a Fury and a Sabre. The Fury was pretty bada$$, but I like the practicality of the Sabre more. I love the looks of the Sabre, but I want to be able to take this bike on long rides too. I'm not sure if this is a good choice for me, considering the front wheel is kind of thin and would be harder to ride long distances and wear fairly fast with some mileage. I think a VTX would be a better choice, but they are not making them anymore and I am kind of OCD and I want something NEW and UPDATED. Also thought about the Stateline, but I don't like the huge fenders.
Then I went into Orange County HD, and sat on a few bikes. I sat on some Sportster models (Nightster and Fourty-Eight) and also sat on a couple of the Dyna models. (Street Bob and Super Glide.) The Sportsters felt kind of small, so I am thinking if I get a Harley, I should get a Dyna.
I want a bike that I will mainly ride by myself, but also want to be able to throw my girlfriend on the back of and cruise.
Any suggestions and or experience with both? Anything will help me out and make a decision. What made you choose a Honda over a Harley or any other type of cruiser? Thanks everyone!
