Preload Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 I'm going to trade in my FJR as I dont really use it, for a cruiser. I would prefer an un-bias answer.

obriens65 Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Honest opinion. Of the three choices I'd have the Hammer. But I'd prefer an Indian Chief Dark Horse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Preload Posted October 23, 2014 Author Share Posted October 23, 2014 1 out of 5 is better than I expected. I looked at the new Indians and I like the Scout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slice Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 Ok I looked at all 3 of them and the XVS is fugly no other way to say it I'm afraid, I like the Hammer tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lallasro Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 I try a hammer, is not so heavy and with a great look... I like it... but... if you want the bike for cruising, the xvs 1900. what about the intruder 1800? I think is having the best look on the market.

Ttaskmaster Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 Of the three, I'd choose one of the Victories myself. If they'd made the 1900 in a Custom design, I'd have gone for that but as mentioned - It's ug-leeeee!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Preload Posted October 23, 2014 Author Share Posted October 23, 2014 Cheers guys for the input. I like the Hammer however the Jackpot is winning at the mo probably because there are not so many about also the frame is painted the same colour as the bodywork plus has more chrome as standard. I have rode the XVS1900 I quite like the 50's look, its really comfy and easier to ride than the Victory's probably due to the rear tyre which by the way are over 200 quid. The Suzuki 1800 a bargain but its water cooled and shaft drive so that's not in the running. There is a Yam1900 custom called a Raider which I quite like but they are imports.

mailee Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 Afraid I'm gonna be different here. I like the look of the XVS1900 and think the Victory's are Fugly! I hate those headlamps! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmy Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 I was thinking he was after the bigger cruiser and with the Rocket 3 at 2300cc and the T'Bird Storm at 1700cc they would suit the remit a bit more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ttaskmaster Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Oooh - Get a Raider, get a Raider, get a Raider, get a Raider, get a Raider, get a Raider!!!!!!!!!! That looks great - Low and looooooong! The T'Bird Storm looks alright, until a rider sits on it. Then it just looks all short and squished up.
