Why are cruisers so darn cheap?

"Current generation would sooner can only afford to look at them on a phone."

The smart, driven, dedicated, hard-working, entrepreneurial and fortunate ones are too busy paying down their half-million dollar mortgages to buy an expensive toy. The others can't afford it either.

And when the mortgage is paid off, they are old and don't have the garage space for huge toy cars.

I was 10 years old in 75. Not much to lust after mid 70's to mid 80's and we knew it then. They were all so bad. We lusted for late 60's till about 72.
But I guess those are still in my youth.

Somewhere there`s a sweet `82 Dodge Aries coupe, in beige naturally, calling your name. Go on....you know you want it.

Nope. 81 Dodge Omni in blue exterior and interior. Well, interior started out being blue but after a couple of years turned into a very special shade of puke yellow.

@omnivore used to be around here a lot. He had omnis with IIRC v8 swaps. He hasn't been on in a decade though.

Now that's a blast from the past

When I first started riding I wanted to be a cruiser guy. Half helmet, cig in the mouth, but forgot to add the tassels.

Rode a Virago 1100 around for a couple years and then tried out a VFR750 which was so much better and never looked back.
