    Starter Cruiser Bike?

    Not after the recent trends of insurance companies jacking the prices on HD across the board I hear ya, although I felt very comfortable and confident on the vstar 950, sat on it, rocked it back and forth, leaned it side to side, threw the weight around a bit, felt pretty good. (though things...

    Starter Cruiser Bike?

    Went to the dealership to try some bikes out. The bolt is definitely not for me, in addition to the Cramped ergonomics, the handlebars are nothing like a cruiser to me, they're leaned in, more Aggressive. The vstar 950 on the other hand feels Perfect, handlebars, seat, foot pegs, I compared...

    Starter Cruiser Bike?

    Not sure if your serious or not, the bolt is a 950 cc cruiser, although it weighs less than 550, and looks SICK! Can anyone comment on this? Thoughts?

    Starter Cruiser Bike?

    Yeah if there isnt a huge jump in insurance from 600 cruiser to 900 cruiser and they feel good after a test drive im probably gonna get the 900 cruiser(vulcan maybe) if not, im just gonna go with the Vulcan S(600 cruiser) or phantom(750 cruiser?) my record is pretty clean, and im 26 going on 27

    Starter Cruiser Bike?

    Agreed Personally I want a bike that i can keep around for a while(2-3 years). Ideally it would be nice to start on a 600 Cruiser, then move up to something bigger(900 or 1300). However money is always a strong consideration, Id have to try and sell the 600 while im still making payments...

    Starter Cruiser Bike?

    Yeah I like the vulcan S, and the shadow/phantom, Havent looked at the bolt too much.(maybe i should) How is the vulcan 900 or boulevard m50 for starter bike? In my head i feel like 600-900cc is the 'starter range' for cruisers, am i wrong???? The vstar 650 i looked at, but didnt like the...

    Starter Cruiser Bike?

    lol, yeah im just looking for an entry level cruiser (im assuming those 600-900 cc cruisers qualify? Vulcan S, Honda Phantom, Vulcan 900 and the like?) And whoa there is that lake?

    Starter Cruiser Bike?

    Yeah thats the plan anyway, i was just entertaining the thought of fantasy of getting a 1300cc that looks beautiful. But what your saying is that generally cruiser entry level bikes are in the 600-900 range yes?

    Starter Cruiser Bike?

    I dont know some people tell me starter cruisers(600-900cc) are cheaper than 300 cc starter bikes(because they are classified as sport bikes, ninja, R3, cbr etc)

    difference between 300 and 600cc

    All state Insurance company disagrees with you, i called them last week and they dont even look at 'sport bikes' even though i told them the r3 was just a 300, that is unless you have an M license for atleast 3 years, have been previously insured before(therefore are not a 'new' rider)and can...

    difference between 300 and 600cc

    Interesting so an 800 cc Cruiser would essentially be producing the same power as a 400CC sport bike and would therefore be insured accordingly? At approx the same level as the 400cc sport bike?
