Posted October 22, 201410 yr I'm going to trade in my FJR as I dont really use it, for a cruiser. I would prefer an un-bias answer. Its between: Victory Hammer Victory Jackpot Yamaha XVS1900 what do you think?
October 22, 201410 yr Nether " get a MT09 or a Triumph sreet triple,, here life in the old dog yet,,,
October 22, 201410 yr Just glad you haven't got a harley on the list. and a pipe and slippers ? Personally I prefer cigars and strippers
October 22, 201410 yr Honest opinion. Of the three choices I'd have the Hammer. But I'd prefer an Indian Chief Dark Horse
October 23, 201410 yr Author 1 out of 5 is better than I expected. I looked at the new Indians and I like the Scout.
October 23, 201410 yr 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.
October 23, 201410 yr 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.
October 23, 201410 yr 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!!!
October 23, 201410 yr Author 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.
October 23, 201410 yr 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!
October 23, 201410 yr 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.
October 24, 201410 yr 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.
October 24, 201410 yr 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! oh yeeees
October 24, 201410 yr I wondered why the Raider wasn't on your list,if you get one then you will be one of the only ones you see
