[QUOTE="Redfish Hunter, post: 1240789, member: 28773"] The folks that like cruisers really like them. Those folks do not think they are riding "lousy motorcycles". And just in case no one noticed there are way more cruisers out there than there are Sport Tourers. I read recently that Harley Davidson outsold Honda 12 to 1 in the large touring bike segment. That is a bunch of folks who like their cruisers. Just because I/You/We do not like a particular style of bike does not make it garbage. My HD riding friends and cousin do not care that my FJR accelerates, stops, and turns faster or better. They have no interest in riding anything other than a Harley Davidson. As far as comfort goes, that is just too broad a subject to cover with a definitive statement. I have been very comfortable on 3 different Street Glides, a couple of Ultra Classics, one Road Glide and I cannot remember what else. I have been moderately uncomfortable on a couple of Sportsters but they were not supposed to be comfy. I will also mention that I have been spending a good bit of time researching things on the HD forum recently in order to help my Street Glide riding friend get his bike ready for the ride to Sturgis. I have not noticed any threads bashing ANY other brand. All they talk about are Harleys... Probably a good lesson there somewhere. [/QUOTE]
