It's a hard line to call there. I'd say cops are more leniant to cruiser-style bikes than sport bikes. I'd say, and probably rightly so, that more idiots do their best to get attention on a fast, bright-colored crotch-rocket... so it's given us much poorer image. I don't get much grief from cops so far. On my first cruiser-style bike, I felt like I could basically scoot under all the cop radar and nobody so much as blinked at me. On my CBR, I've gotten the lights flashed at me, had a few close calls I was sure I would get pulled over but didn't, and have been pulled over once (For turning my signal off halfway through a lane change, and given a warning...[sm=lame.gif])
So, in the end, don't do anything to draw un-wanted attention to yourself, and you'll be fine. Do something crazy, and they'll get you if they see you, most of the time. Welcome to the site!

Here in NYC there was a very severe crackdown on bikes earlier this summer. They were pulling over everyone, even if you weren't doing anything wrong, just to check license/registration/insurance/inspection. If you didn't have everything, they'd tow your bike. And if that was all good, they'd give you a ticket for having flushmounts or an aftermarket exhaust.
The truth is there's always a chance you'll get stopped, so don't ride like an idiot, and make sure you and your bike have all the necessary papers.

Here inTulsa I've been pulled over for simply having my visor up. I think its only because we've got a group of riders that terrorize the city streets. Cruiser vs. sport bike, think of it as a '79 pinto vs Corvette, youre gonna get more attention. Best of luck to ya and welcome to the group.
