Another option is to go with a sport tourer

There are several nice ones to choose from........

Cruisers are definately more comfortable. I ride a '97 Suzuki Intruder everyday. I rode sport bike one time and couldn't imagine what it would be like to have to ride one every day for long periods of time. But... then again, it's all in that person's opinion. The look of a sport bike isn't my kinda preference. I'm also not in to going 20934829083712 miles an hour while doing a wheely with one leg up over my windshield while my right arm is holding on to my rear fender while my other leg is up under the handlebar. But hey... if you're into that kinda stuff, I'd get a sport bike... I just love hoppin on the bike and cruising down the street.

It all depends on your riding style I guess.

Personally, I think cruisers are easier to learn on, more comfortable, and cheaper to insure.

I understand being torn between the two, I want both. But a cruiser was cheaper to get as far as a brand new bike goes. I will adventually buy a sport bike as well.

To me getting a cruise isnt even worth it... But i like speed / riding like a dickhead.

So if you are worried about being comfortable (even tho i think my gixxer is comfortable and i ride it everyday)... Then just a get a cruise and putt putt around... lol

Its all up too you... speed... or putt putt. When im like 50 ill get a chopper prob..

But till then ... Sport bike it is.

Buy a Honda Magna, it's the best of both worlds. 10,000rpm V4 Interceptor engine in a Shadow-looking bike. My mom just picked herself up a '95 Magna for $2900, so they're definitely affordable.

Im probably gonna end up getting a cruiser. I will kill myself on a sport bike, because I'd ride like a dickhead. plus i found a pretty sweet deal on a chopped 88 intruder. I'll post pics later.

'88 Intruders are cool looking. My roomate is selling a '97 Honda Shadow 1100 for $3500 in case the Intruder deal falls through.

After you pick up that bike, you wanna come riding with us? B&H productions plus a few other guys on here make up the TR cruiser crowd. It's a small bunch.
