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.
