Cruiser reviews

For all of the wide tire chopper bikes made in this particular era, the Big Dog K9 was arguably one of the better designed bikes in a few ways. It features a soft tail with the look of a rigid frame thanks to well crafted body lines hiding the movement of the swing arm, resulting in smooth riding. Power comes from an S Show less

Rides smooth, perfect for first time riders, great for long trips, the side bags are a plus, smooth design and not bulky like the bigger cruisers. Fits in small spaces. Engine is clean. very versatile as the bags can be removed to be more like a sportster. The windshield can also be removed if needed Show less

2006 883R sportster , professionally modified by Steve Shore , former builder , customizer for Iron Horse magazine . Mild custom , with many uograde components , all "top shelf" eg. Wiseco, Mikuni,Screamin' Eagle , SuperTrapp , Twin-tec , and more . Very agressive performer, always garaged and never ridden in wet weather . Must be seen to appreciate the beauty and functionality oif the long list of upgrades . Approx . 13,349 original miles now . Purchased from Harley Dealer formely owned by dealer head tech . A potential purchase you can feel good about all the way home ! As I pile on the years (on ME !) Its time to begin liquidating my toys . This is one of two pristine machines being offered for sale .

The Triumph Bonneville Bobber is a classic motorcycle, fun to ride, looks great on the road with great performance capability from its 1200 cc engine and water cooled. The Bobber stands out with its unique and stylish design that goes back to the retro Bobber bikes of the past. I have enjoyed riding it on the back roads of San Diego County. Show less

NOTE: This is a review of a Sportster 883 Iron (Not an option in the dropdown) I've never owned a Harley before this one. I've always heard negative things about how Harley's are difficult to maintain and constantly break down... however, this is NOT my experience with this Sportster. TBH... this was an impulse buy from a neighbor; however, it turned into a fun adventure! I hadn't ridden a motorcycle for close to a decade and it was a great return to the excitement of "flying" without wings. Prior to this bike I had a couple of Yamaha cruisers, a Victory, and had driven every type of bike possible. I've held a motorcycle endorsement on my license since 1998. If you're interested in a Harley, Sportsters (883 or 1200) are a good initiation into the HOG. Well-balanced, plenty of power to move anyone (I'm 6'4" and 240 pounds) and fun to ride. Show less

Excellent motorcycle, extremely reliable, comfortable ride with forward controls and mini Apes. Always kept up with maintenance. This bike made it to Sturgis 2012 and back to Seattle. Helping my mother in CA selling the bike there. Have title and will have bill of sale for the buyer. Bike is located in Milpitas CA at the moment. Will sell for 6000. Show less

I love the power of this machine. No matter the gear I'm in, it always has a very smooth acceleration feel to it. The gear shifts are precise and I've never missed a gear. Tires are close to needing replacing, willing to work with overall price to help. Other than minor nicks and chips, the bike is in very good condition. Show less

This is an older HD, so obviously not quite as comfy as the newer models; however, it has held my wife and me in good stead through long trips from SoCal up to Wyoming and Victoria, B.C., among others. With the upgraded Performance Package installed in 2012, the overall power increased by about 15%, and that was a worthwhile addition. I just turned 70, and my joints are starting to fail on me, so physically it was time for me to admit that Father Time has gotten the best of me, at least when it comes to riding a bike. But I've loved my HD from the day I purchased it, and although over the sixteen years that I've owned it, it's got a few bumps and nicks, it's still a solid bike, and if I was ten years younger, I wouldn't consider parting with it. Heels up, and keep it between the ditchs!! :) Show less

Triumph Speedmaster (1200cc) The Speedmaster seems a little overlooked, as Triumph's copy of an HD Softail. But it's EXCELLENT. It is supremely comfortable, and handles very well, with a lot of grunt, not too much weight, and a very light-feeling front end. The tank, seat, and general lines, are beautiful and classic. The beach bars and forward controls make for a very laid back but easy riding position, and it is a LOT of fun to ride. The exhaust note is the best from a factory exhaust I've heard, honestly! It is not too loud, not quiet, just a beautiful deep thrum from the 1200 twin. I added a Madstad windshield, bags, a sissy bar, and bobbins for chain maintenance, and that is all it needed. It comes with just enough features, and the cruise control is easy and intuitive. making it good for long rides. Beautiful, reliable, fun, and easy. Take this thing to the cafe, or across country, it is a very gratifying, pretty, and functional road cruiser. (I like it better than the HD Softail, too. Not as heavy, hot, loud, or difficult. I never had to make any excuses for this Triumph. Fantastic bike!) Show less

Absolutely a great bike!!! Amazing power, amazing handling. Great reliability. Great looks. Just a bulletproof bike. The shaft drive is super smooth and the power is endless. Front air forks, rear airshocks work perfectly. Very comfortable bike for driver and passenger. I would recommend these bikes to anyone who loves to ride. Not for a beginner though that's for sure. Must be an experienced rider. Show less
