@Rambo454 11 месяцев назад

I don't think Yammie still entirely gets why people like to ride cruisers. You can talk all day about price-to-performance, how cruisers are boring and slow or how archaic cruiser technology still is. All that is mostly irrelevant, though. People like cruisers because of the ability to CRUISE admiring the scenery, the surroundings and the feel of the bike. On a sport bike you ride aggressively and are hyper-focused on the road with less regard to the landscape surrounding you. Different uses. That's the real reason.

@TheChromeRonin 11 месяцев назад

My cruiser is just as fast as a sports bike, at the legal speed limit.

@bhouse92101 11 месяцев назад

While I agree with you somewhat, you can't argue that the weight to power to price ratio is really poor for cruisers as a whole and I think THAT is Papa Yam's biggest gripe.

@Rambo454 11 месяцев назад

@@bhouse92101 I think the whole idea of cruisers is that you're not supposed to go all-out fast. Rather, you can rev the throttle and go through all the gears without accelerating to the moon. Whilst admiring the world around you at a slower pace and enjoy the sound of the motor. That's how I feel about the thing.

@deadsirius3531 11 месяцев назад

Absolutely. I have recently moved on from cruisers (for now) but there's nothing like hopping on and going to get lost in the country for a few hours. Plus they just look cooler than any other type of bike--that's actually an objective fact =)

@bhouse92101 11 месяцев назад

@@Rambo454 so what bike do you have? I'm assuming that since you are all about "enjoying the scenery" and the thrill of "race me to the next stop light" isn't what you're all about, that you must have a smooth as butter 250cc V-Twin that enables you to just mosey on down the road to enjoy all that lush scenery?🤣😂😆

@Mike_and_Life 11 месяцев назад

I bought a C50 as my first "real" bike and paid $3000 for it. It has been flawless. 10k miles later and it still perfect. I could sell it today for what i paid for it. Its just a great, simple cruiser to ride around with the wife and enjoy some wind. Best part? I dont feel obligated to join any groups or wear a freaking Harley uniform.

You're probably the only person I know who bought a Fatboy. I honestly thought they were just there to fill in space at the dealer.

@MrTPF1 11 месяцев назад

For any beginner, I HIGHLY recommend a used bike right off the bat. Sure, I know folks who bought full dressers for their first bikes, but I would say that is not the greatest idea. Save yourself a ton of money and depreciation and look for any of the Big 4 Japanese makes & models like the ones covered in this video. They run forever and are bullet proof. Unless you have a Triumph, Royal Enfield, Ducatti, or Boneville dealer right near your house where you can get parts and repairs done, stick with the Japanese bikes.

@axelfoley5155 11 месяцев назад

I had a Honda monkey for about 3 months, and I went to my Harley dealership and they did try and tell me I could go straight to the Street Bob. I rode the monkey for a year and then bought a 2023 Indian Scout Rouge and it felt like a rocket compared to the monkey. A few people tried telling me not to get a bike with a 100 horsepwer but i knew i could handle it. The power and the handling were easy to get used to. and I love the scout. I couldn't be happier.

@kell7195 11 месяцев назад

Just picked up my RE Super Meteor 650 in Astral Black here in Australia 2 days ago, had to go 500km to the closest dealership, rode around Southern coast in Winter rain to get first 500kms on it and dropped it back in for first service the next day, rode it back home yesterday and have over 1000km on it in the first 2 days. Impressive bike, very comfortable aside from rear shocks that will need some adjustment, great usable low down power, great lights, highly recommended so far.

@jwhite2901 8 месяцев назад

Nothing wrong with that man. A bike should be bought for the type of riding you do. If you’re a backroad cruiser, a small displacement bike is the best thing to ride

I love it and get compliments on it often, which honestly totally surprises me every time but it looks new still. I have 2 other bikes but I dont think I'll ever sell it. It's worth today, what I paid for it 10 yrs ago and when buddys come over, I always have a bike for them to ride too.

Rode a Suzuki Boulevard C50 as my first bike. Never gave me a single problem. Being a big guy, I eventually upgraded to a 2019 Suzuki Boulevard C90 Boss Edition (1400+ cc) and it too has been all over the place and never had a single problem.

@christopherdean1326 11 месяцев назад

Over here in the UK, learners must start out on a bike of no more than 11Kw, which usually means 125cc. I've just started learning (at the ago of 60!!!!) and I bought a 2000 Yamaha Virago 125, which is absolutely brilliant!

@MrToranaGuy 11 месяцев назад

It's cool that you have just started riding at the age of 60. I'm shocked with how little power you can have on your learners in the UK. A couple years ago we decided to smarten up a little and expand our learners down here in australia to allow a lot, but not all, bikes of 660cc or less, to be learner legal, as long as their power to weight isn't too high. Ie no Kr1 2 stroke, even tho it's only 250cc. How long do you guys have to stay on your learners with such restrictions?

@christopherdean1326 11 месяцев назад

@@MrToranaGuy Strictly speaking, until we feel confident enough to take a test and move on to something bigger. For someone who had been riding on private land for a few months/years, this could be a matter of weeks. We can ride on "L" plates for two years, then we have to either take a test, or another CBT to renew it for another two years.

@RiderXp 9 месяцев назад

This is a pretty good list. The thing I realized while making a cruisers comparison video of my own was that this that one category of motorcycles that defies the engine size to horsepower conventions of sports or street naked bikes. A 1000cc cruiser could also make a decent beginner bike just as well as a 500cc Honda Rebel. And that is the beauty of cruising. Good stuff Yammy!

I bought a 3rd gen magna because I wanted a fun cruiser and something for my girl to learn on. 500lbs carried low, and below 4-5krpm very manageable power for a beginner, but when you run that 750cc V4 out to 10k rpm it makes a phenomenal noise and over 85hp and nearly 70ftlbs of torque. You can buy them for less than 3k all day, Honda reliability, and comfort. I love this little thing

@RossGoneRogue 11 месяцев назад

+1 to the Shadow. It's light for a Cruiser and a lot of the models have a single crank pin to sound like Harley's, but are also sorta underpowered as a result (at least the 750s). I've never felt like I'm not in control of it and can do the MSF 20' box on it. Handles great.

@Hanson_Feet 6 месяцев назад

Great list, Yammie. Only knit-pick is that one of your Suzuki Boulevards (the first silver one, at 11:33) is not a C50. It's an S50, the successor to the Intruder line. The C50 is based on the Volusia line. Honest mistake, no harm, no foul. I only know the difference because I have the C50 and my son in law has the S50. Comparable on paper, but they are very different in character! The S50 has a similar displacement engine, but revs much faster and is almost 200 lbs lighter. It's much quicker than my C50. Both are excellent bikes, and I'm very happy with my C50. Low and slow works just fine for me!

The Vulcan 900 was the bike I chose after being away from riding for a decade (kids).

@@andersonlarios7257 Yeah, it doesn't have that overdrive that it needs to not be screaming at 60+ mph (though mine was a '08, so perhaps they've addressed that gearing issue to some degree by now). But off-highway and as an all-around midweight cruiser, it was tough to beat, especially at its price point.

@raymondwilliams6878 11 месяцев назад

My '06 Suzuki C50 has same issue. My '03 Volusia 800 (older version of C50) was the same. This is a common complaint of these bikes (feels like they NEED 6th gear), but the bikes are fine on the highway if you can get over the sound, lol. I wanted a VN900 this time, but read it had the same issue so ended up going with what I already knew since I got a good deal.

@alexandercoll4863 8 месяцев назад

Does the Vulcan have a tach? My shadow 750 didn’t but they will do highway for hours! Use hood oil, change within internal, the noise and buzzing is the engine 2k away from redline going 75-80mph. Bike is fine, it’s all in your head

cruiser/touring? I rode 12k miles last year and never left 1.5 hours from my house, this includes a trip to Charlotte, NC where I lived out of the saddle bags for a week. (Yamaha 08 RSV.) I just want to tow my trailer full of tools and supplies to jobsites, get groceries at the Food Lion or Sam's club at nearby Hickory. It is a replacement for my F250 until I need the F250 (4k miles last year) A sportier bike just will not do everything I want. I am thinking about going to a softail for versatility of easy on-off luggage, still tow my trailer everyday, and weigh less, and keep the rain off.

I started with a rebel 500 to hear it has the same power as an iron 883 blows my mind.

I'm a newer rider and settled on the Bonneville T120, was either that or the Speedmaster. With the rain mode, it was not at all hard to get used to.

The Vulcan 900 is a great dependable middleweight cruiser. Not too big not too small.

Yammie of course has his own option's on certain bikes but that cool. To each their own. He still makes great motorcycle video content and puts out tonssss of info on each bike he rides. But all bikers are weird and will ride what they want anyway. Thanks for the video Yammie! Keep making great videos. Can I get a t-shirt? =)

Sinnis Hoodlum. 125cc air cooled thumper, 300 pounds, tops out at 70mph, 81mpg (stated). 3 grand. Not sure if they're available in the US. The Lexmoto Michigan is essentially the same bike, just a little different in styling.

Got the Yamaha Stryker for 8k as my first bike, about 1300cc i believe. Love this one man, it is a lil slow though, topped mine out at around 110mph on google maps (bikes speedo is about 10 over what im actually doing). Would definitely recommend for other beginners from my limited experience lol

@frontdeskstaff9359 11 месяцев назад

110 really? That's it? I really thought the Stryker would be faster.

I took the moto training course and bought a 03 Electra Glide Standard. I won’t deny the first day it was tough because it’s heavily and has a lot of power.(I never really expected going from training on a 400cc to a 1449cc being that big of a difference but there is lol.) Luckily I reminded myself to just be relaxed and by the next day I rode it pretty dang good. Yeah some of my turns were a bit wide but after a bit of practice I got the hang of it. I’d stall it at least once a day but after a week I had no issue. Note: I’m 5’11, 280lbs so for me I felt comfortable enough purchasing a bike like that. I would not recommend someone small riding something like that. You will get hurt

@mickh6426 11 месяцев назад

another one that should have been on the list that i highly recommend is the "V STAR 650". Only downside is the rear drum breaks, i prefer disc breaks.

@mattp.7318 11 месяцев назад

I still have my 2000 VStar Classic. Can't get anything for it, insurance is like $21/year at this point, might as well keep it forever. But they didn't make the list (and shouldn't have) because they're no longer in production.

@Cocytus 2 месяца назад

For my first Cruiser, which I still have, I went with the Honda Shadow 1100. I was considering a Vulcan 900 but was turned off from it because of the heavier weight. I wanted something lighter weight and easier to maneuver and ride overall. My Shadow 1100 is lighter and better on the Interstate vs the Vulcan 900. I wish Honda had carried on the 1100 past the 2007 year mark, but I get what they were doing at the time. Putting their focus more on the at the time newly developed 1300cc engine.

@elchupacabra1193 11 месяцев назад

I just came back to riding after about 6 years off and lots of physical therapy (not related to riding). I came back into a used C50 because of the price point. I'll point something out here where the C50 probably shines just a little bit more than everyone else on the list. Specifically, it can handle a much taller rider. Now I'm 6'7" so I'm at the edge of its capacity, and I'll probably even be throwing on some kickback risers soon. But without either aftermarket handlebars or risers, many of these bikes just will not handle someone over about 6'1"/6'2" without some issue.

@leonardpearlman4017 11 месяцев назад

I wish this would come up more! So many of the bikes I look at are bragging about their low seat height! It's like a race to the bottom, presently we'll just sit directly on the frame I suppose? I almost wish they could come in Small, Medium and Large! I think there are at least a dozen motorcycles that I could and would buy but they're just too small!

@raymondwilliams6878 11 месяцев назад

Good point...one of the main reasons I chose a '06 C50 after already owning a Volusia 800 almost 20 years ago. I still had to add 4" risers to make it more comfortable, and looking at adding forward controls or highway bars to be able to stretch out a bit more...the other bikes would take even more effort to make comfortable.

@hoosierdude7102 11 месяцев назад

I plan on getting another cruiser bike, a Shadow Phantom. Fuel injected, liquid cooled, shaft driven… maintenance = nah. I used to ride a V-Star 650. 49 mpg and fast enough for me. If I had more power I’d use it and do dumb things. Like Ricky Bobby, I want to go fast. To keep myself alive, I buy slow things and drive them hard.
