Owning another bike isn't worth the risk to me. Although I loved to ride, most drivers on the road just don't pay enough attention. I sold my last one in 2004. I have kept my motorcycle endorsement on my license but I doubt I will own another one.
When I went for my motorcycle test at the local DMV there were two ladies working in there. They were ~50 years old I guess. I passed my written exam and was waiting to do the driving test. One looked at the other and asked if she was going to go with me to do the driving test. She answered that she saw me ride up on it and that was good enough for her. I passed, lol. I had a Yamaha YZF600R at the time.

Even though I'm a Kawi guy, one of the sickest premade cruisers right now is the new Suzuki Boulevard BOSS edition IMO. Damn bike looks HOT.
Shame kawi stopped making the Mean Streak bikes...they looked real tough too. If you dont mind a used bike, they may be something you'd like.
While its not a full cruiser, the new gen Concourse Sport Touring bikes are basically good at everything, and will smoke pretty much any other cruiser around except for maybe a V-Max in a straight line. Review sites love this bike - its only real competition is the WAY more expensive K1600 GT BMW(It is around $10,000 more). Detuned Gen1 ZX14 motor. Maybe they will give it the nasty Gen2 motor next year???

The V-Rod is a nice bike and is way faster then the Mean streak(V-Max stomps them both though)...but the Mean Streak did everything else better (braking, handling, MPG, etc).
I'd get a V-Max over a V-Rod any day of the week...but those are both very different bikes from the typical high TQ/low HP standard cruisers.

Yes sir
Stripe delete ad $50.
We will see. I will baseline it next week and start. Airfoil,prom,ported plenum,aftermarket base,ported SLP runners,2700 converter,cold air,coil,TPIS headers with no cats,UDP and cat back. Keep it away and give it to Sober Marc or my Nephew when I find a nice Z.
Greg told me to keep the C5 Z06 rims. They are the same weight as the Magnesium C5 wheels. I learn something everyday.
Anyone know someone that can raise inside door frames in the house so that extremely tall people can fit through?????????????????????????????????????

I was kidding Mac. Was a slam to 95foottallsnake. Thanks though
Lol the Mean Streak? That's just a Vulcan with some pretty custom paint and matte black accents. Kawi never made a V-rod clone. They don't have a muscle cruiser. In fact, Harley did nothing more then a copycat of the V-Max . That is the japanese V-Rod, not the comparatively underpowered Mean Streak. Mean streak was not meant to compete with the V-rod.
The V-Rod is a nice bike and is way faster then the Mean streak(V-Max stomps them both though)...but the Mean Streak did everything else better (braking, handling, MPG, etc).

And, the V-Max is a sweet bike if you want a cruiser that moves the %$#@ out... always liked those.

If it is a joke well i need to learn when you are joking lol
Actually, my bad... I just woke up. I meant the top picture.. the Suzuki. I am a Suzuki fan.. had an 06' GSXR600. Until my wreck in 09' gained me a trimalleolar fracture on my left ankle. 4 surgeries in 1 year sucks.
