I'm a sport bike guy, but I like some cruisers, too. I LOVE the way this bike feels (2005) but I HATE wrenching on it. They made the most mundane tasks (oil filter, spark plugs, etc.) much harder than they needed to. And to be honest, it's slow as hell. I also have a Vulcan 1500 Classic that I don't like riding as much, but is sooo much easier to work on. I do wish I never sold my VTX 1800. Best of both worlds.
Watching it 2022 I am finding it very interesting as it is probably more up to date video than new reviews about it especially since production of those was stopped good while ago. As a hopefully new rider by next year I would be looking for this very bike so it is nice to hear how it would ride under new riders with low centre of gravity, weigh balance etc. Funny it would be same price for insuring it (about 200 £ a year) for first year than 650 cc and it got better reviews too. I just wait for money to come in as one for license already on the side and then finally will fit that garage space with 1100 xvs as close to perfect within my budget.
