riding different bikes?
I am looking at getting a power cruiser over the winter and was wondering if anyone had riden any of them. The 2 I'm looking at are the HD street rod and the suzuki boulevard m109R. I like the wider tire/cheaper suzuki, but the vrod is a harley(thats a good thing to me) I'm still keeping the 7, or I'll eventually sell it and get another sportbike, but I want a cruiser as well. Ive riden the yamaha vstar 1100, its very smooth and got goo torque, but abit too much cushion. I want a more relaxed riding position to cruise in, but I still want some sport.
HD mspr is around 15-16l
suzuki mssp is aorund 12.5

The new Harley street rod does look pretty sweet. Although I have never really been a big fan of Harley motorcycles. I think the suzuki cruiser or Kawasaki's meanstreak look the best.

what?? No nomad? lol
Out of the two choices you have listed, the zook....
Have you rode a V-Rod? It is a pretty stretched position. If you are dead set on the HD, an electra glide or the new street X.. But, I have a friend with an 05 Electra, and it smokes blue and the linkage has fallen off twice....and I have a friend with an 06 X, and the cd player shorted out the wiring harness, the cig lighter quit working, and it leaks oil...It has 1100 miles on it. But, they do ride nice.
That new stratoliner is one sweet cruiser. Yamaha is really stepping up the game in cruiser style.

I just checked and they now make an affordable vrod with the 240 rear tire. I've not ridden anything other than zx7's,9's, or that yami. I've only read!!! I'm not set of a HD be any means, It will probably depend on money. there is a $4k difference in bikes

Threw a leg over the Triumph 2200? Blue, sat nice, cruised with the owner for a couple hundred miles. He was packing his woman, he really likes the ride.
