Hey /o/ Any recommendations for a decent cruiser bike thats relatively cheap.. Preferaby around or under 2 grand... I'm not looking for a crotch rocket, I'm 6'3 and about 260 pounds.. so.. kind of like andre the giant on a moped.

I'm not new to motorcycles, I've owned a Suzuki DR200SE enduro growing up, and as of 2 years ago, I used to have an 81 Suzuki GS650G that was setup as a 'cruiser' (kinda retarded old man bike setup). It was.. slow for a sport bike, but comfortable to ride, and pretty easy to handle. The bike had been well maintained from an old man who got it to commute to Detroit from my home town (about 50 miles away)

I have a friend who is urging me to stay away from older 80s / 90s bikes because parts are getting tougher to find for bikes like the Honda Magna that I've been looking at. He also is a big anti Harley guy just because of a lot of problems himself and others have had with bikes. I also doubt that I could afford one in any drivable condition

Does /o/ have any suggestions as to what I should keep an eye out for?

Pic related, an 88 Magna that I was eyeballing. Not a fan of the red color, but the style I'm thinking I want.

I'm not planning on going a million miles an hour, nor am I planning on really going off-road / trails other than a few dirt roads, so I wouldn't be necessarily against an adventure bike, but i'm sure it would spend over 95% of its time away from any form of a trail

Also whats the point of people listing bikes for a quarter of their value with photos stolen from other for sale ads with the real bike for higher? I just ran across a 2006 HD Dyna SuperGlide for 2 grand

the bike in question: https://flint.craigslist.org/mcy/d/2006-hd-dyna-superglide/6285100540.html

and the source:

Honda VTX

Get the 1300 if you want good power and easy handling.

Get the 1800 if you want to destroy asphalt.

I've had my 1300C (there are different models) for 10 years and have never regretted it.

Best of luck
