any other guys here like HD bikes but never own one? get in here.

Had a V-star 1100 a few years back, had to sell it. Always wanted a street bob. Someday...

ive noticed metric cruisers are either HD copycats or their own entity as in magna vs shadow nahmsayn?

I've always preferred cruisers but never wanted an HD. I just can't stand that much vibration.

I've never really been into sucking cocks if I'm honest OP

>>16241641

>>16241641

>people who ride
>hate hurley
>people who dont ride
>like hurley

i wonder who's right?

>>16243033
Harleys are really rare where im at and im more likely to see the logo on a shirt than on a motorcycle.
Most people here buy jap cruisers anyway, personalky i own a standard but i know that cruisers are way comfier

It's what they're good for

Looking at, but never riding.

>>16243022
Because the ride you get from that "large and in charge" posture every boomer wants to have on the road tears your spine out and hands it to satan to use as a dildo. Get the feet forward enough and you can barely move around. HD is spending more R&D shekels on comfortable suspensions than good engines at this point.

And forget cornering speed. You have limited lean and can't hang off to make up for it. Ever see those yellow signs they put near turns in the US, and then wonder why you were fine not following them? They're for HD riders.

>owns a standard
>"knows" cruisers are comfier
i've never got this meme, comfier how? I own a standard and other then more foam in the seat i dont know how anything could be comfier. It's a completely neutral seating position so unless you're way too tall or short for a given bike how is anything going to be comfier?

What i can say is that riding a V-twin standard is amazing once you put on a stupid loud exhaust. The sheer number of old guys and vapid blonde bitches turning around to look at the Bikie only to find some normie on a nipshit starter bike is amazing. Slowly riding through shopping centre carparks has become so entertaining since my new exhast.

OP is bike curious

>>16243454
Please note that every single brand currently making V-twin cruisers started doing so after Harley, with the exception of course of Indian. There's at least some measure of truth in there.

Literally my bike

>>16243683
Thanks for proving my point.

Putting a certain engine configuration in a certain type of chassis is not something Harley bestowed upon the world. v-twins have always been popular in cruisers because cruisers are heavy, and v-twins are torquey.

Well, v-twins made by companies other than Harley are torquey.

>>16243628
If you're already crippled then yeah, the cruiser might be comfier

If you are not a cripple, then holding yourself up with your core and legs is easy, but going over bumps on a harley without being able to stand up is not.

>>16241641
Nice to see a cruiser thread. This should be done every day.
