It would be helpful to know what country you are in, what type of licence you have and what your budget is for this bike. Also if you have any preference on engine size etc, cos if I was buying a cruiser, it would be a VTX1800 just cos they look cool.

all bikes are fast its just how you ride them (except CBR125 which is slow Laughing

)

WWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWW!!!!!!

bendy you were right.. VTX1800 looks really cool

Do you think that cruisers are more for girls then sport bikes or vice versa?

Or I should just stick to a good scooter like honda silver wing Laughing

There's no such thing as 'bikes for girls', just ride what you want to ride.

Whether to go sports or cruiser (the two extremes) really depends on what you want to do with the bike.

If you're looking at cruising nice straight roads, get a crusier.

If you want fun chucking it round the twisties, get a sportsbike.

If you want to pose, either will do.

Reminds me of a programme I saw tonight on the discovery channel about this company in America which builds custom made choppers. Only cost a mere $150,000 Crying or Very sad
