Terrible bikes.

However, if you have that burning desire to own a cruiser, then it has to be a Harley as everything else is just a watered down copy.

A better in every conceivable way watered down copy of a Harley mind you.

Harleys dont go, stop, go round corners, go very far, are not very well built, are not great value for money (apart from the 883 which is dirt cheap for a real motorbike all things considered)

I just checked out the price of a new one and I have to say I'm quite surprised at just how cheap you can buy a genuine American, heavy, under powered, poor handling bike for! Then again for 1k more you could get a new RC8...
 
I've never ridden a Harley, but looking at them at the lights, it seems the pistons stay still and bike moves up and down...

That Ducati looks sweet though, but I don't own a branch of Halfords so could never own one.

They were only five and a half grand not so long ago.

An RC8 is like ten and a half?


883 sportster I was on about, not the abortion in the OP.

I think the only cheaper actual motorbike you can buy is the baby Ducati Moster (696?) and the BMW F650.

Obviously I am discounting 125's as they are not "proper" bikes.
