Posted: 19:22 - 17 Feb 2021 Post subject: Best cruiser for 150 mile weekly commute |
|
|
Just seeking some advice,
Im looking at cruisers, to use for travelling to work, which consists of a 150 mile trip, twice a week. Other then that general day to day.
Been considering harley davidson sportsters or yamaha xvs950 bolt
Anyone have any other opinions or options they might advise or suggest?
Many thanks |

I quite like the look of the Indian Scout tbh. I am tall at 6ft 4in and I am really fat too. I got to try sitting on one that a guy from across the yard had, it had the forward foot controls and it felt nice. I was interested in the Sportster until the autists on here talked me out of it and from the outside looking in now I can tell that Harley's are shite. ____________________ PRESENT: 2018 BMW S1000XR SE Sport.

I'll be polite: American cruisers are not a good value proposition
150 miles? is that round trip or each leg? Either way, depends on the roads. Loads of 70mph motorways and dual-carriageways I wouldn't recommend the Rebel but if it's lots of small roads then it's ideal, especially for city roads.
Any reason for the cruiser aesthetic? Personally I like the more classic look (which tends to include cruisers) and I moved onto the XSR700. Much more comfortable for longer distances IMHO than the Rebel I used to have.
The Triumph mentioned is the Speedmaster. You might also consider the monotony of the Kawasaki Vulcan. ____________________ Husqvarna Vitpilen 401, Yamaha XSR700, Honda Rebel, Yamaha DT175, Suzuki SV650 (loan) Fazer 600, Keeway Superlight 125, 50cc turd scooter |

Is the XVS bolt the same as the XVS with the V4? It looks like a hella fun bike.
Is this your first bike? Why are you looking at cruisers? As others said something like a V strom 1000 would be a much more comfortable bike to commute on, and handle better. But if you want the crusier you want the cruiser. ____________________ 1991 RD04 |
