Worst part about a cruiser is when you have to pick it up!! I've found that out twice so far. :(

Tank thinks that a naked sport might be more comfortable for me...I have issues with my legs falling asleep and my tailbone getting sore very quickly. It's not too much of an issue right now, but when we start doing longer rides something is going to have to change.

I think that's why he likes the 750's so much. They were the first, and his first love. This is his 2nd or 3rd one. It was a custom, but he's got all of the components to turn it into a super sport. They are all waiting for me to get the airbrush out and get them painted!

I agree with Tank, I find the riding position of a naked sports bike much more comfortable for me, as I have cervical disc disease and traumatic arthritis of the spine, that's why clip-on's (low racing sport bars) and cruiser with feet forward and arms extended just don't work for the old curmudgeon. ;) I love the SV650, it weighs 363 dry, it has a smooth 70 HP 90° V-Twin and it handles, stops and starts with the best. It also tops out around 130 MPH. I added after market handle bars (wider and a little higher) Works Performance rear shock, Gold Valve Cartridge Fork Emulators in the front forks and after market (Renegade) exhaust system.

Mine is a 2001, the new ones have fuel injection and better stock suspension.

I atill have stock seat, Corbin makes a pretty good after market seat.

I just order a Corbin seat. ;);)

Get that air brush out ~ do you do flames? :)
