Hi everyone, I am not new to motorcycles but I am new to cruisers, I wanted to make this short post to hear from you if you have any recommendations on cruisers intermediate/lower intermediate riders, if possible I also wanted to keep this under €15k for a new one, I think I’ll be buying a used bike but if I din’t manage to find one then I would buy it new.
If you like older bikes, the Suzuki GS series are rocksteady, there’s a great forum community for them and you can usually get them for a few grand.
They make really nice Cafe racers with a little work, being UJMs (universal Japanese motorcycles) they are quite adaptable in terms of fit. My 425cc takes on 1800cc Harley dynas just fine, and I’ve ridden it up to San Francisco and back to LA a couple of times now.
But: they’re carbureted, and don’t offer more than lights, brakes, good steering and power.
