I was just wondering how these two bikes compare to each other. Has anyone here rode them both? Please share your experiences with them. Thanks in advance y'all!

 

Both are good bikes with a lot of power and great comfort and have the same basic characteristics. The Bird has more power and handles better in corners. Saying that doesn’t mean the Hurricane is weak or handles bad; I walked away from several modern sport bikes both on track and twisty roads with my Hurricane -92 which I loved. It was traded for a Bird -97 which I have now. If you can find a mature Hurricane in fair condition for a good price, go for it. You may in first hand look for -89 and newer Hurricanes which looks more modern, if that counts, and they have a wider rear rim taking 180/55/17 tyres. If you have to select between a recent Hurricane and an early Bird for about the same price, definitely go for the Bird.
