I've ridden my uncle's VTX1800... the grunt and sound are nice but there is almost zero clearance. Even just turning in an intersection has metal parts touching down. I'll pass.

I've done the same with a Shadow and a Goldwing. I think we as sportbike riders are spoiled by the clearance that we have.

Maybe that's really a "cafe racer", but I consider all things Harley as "cruisers".

I've ridden HondaGal's 2006 Yamaha Midnight Warrior. That thing kicks ass, and handles surprisingly well. If I HAD to purchase a cruiser, that'd be it. She put a Vance & Hind exhaust on it and dragbars. It looks awesome.

I'm partial to the Victories, maybe as much because I was a supplier as they got things going, but they do have some nice things about them.
