Default Cruiser and 954?

Any of you guys own a cruiser along with your 954? I rode my buddies M109R the last few weeks and it seems like it would be a lot of fun to own both! It did take a little getting used to when I started riding the 954 again I was just wondering if any of y'all have ventured down this path. Thx.

Not yet....I do plan on getting that special edition M109 eventually. Those things are beautiful. Had to be the best looking Suzuki to come from....well Suzuki..... My problem would be showing more attention to one then the other!

The M109 is a nice bike! Three of the guy's I ride with have them. I don't think I can get away from sportbikes all together! However, I wouldn't mind having one of each

I have a 2008 VTX 1300C and just got a 2003 954 a few weeks ago. I use the VTX to cruise with my wife on the back and the 954 to hang out with the guys from work. I like both, but going for a ride on one and then getting on the other is night and day. Of course I love the speed and response of the CBR but when my back is hurting I want the VTX. I think I just like having both for however I feel at the time. They are both great bikes.

I have both, an 02 954 and an 85 Honda Shadow 700. I enjoy the cruiser but I'm more into sportbikes. It's nice to have one of each depending on how I feel that day lol. One thing I noticed though is when I jump on the cruiser, I find myself trying to hug the tank with my knees, I lean forward over then tank when I accelerate, etc lol.

I'd have to say I'll never own a cruiser of any sort. Rode hundreds hated most. Harleys I can't stand...vibration and power is horrible. I refer to them as a couch. Got one at home in my living room if I want to stay out of the wind a be comfortable. When I nolonger can't venture out on my Sportbikes is when I hang motorcycling up.
