I have always been riding street bikes, now that I'm getting older I am thinking of a nice custom chopper to have along with my current bike. I am wondering if any of you feel the same....the best of both worlds, and if so what kind of custom?

 

I am just the opposite, my family are all harley riders, and I switched to a cbr 1000 recently. If you want fun and turns and speed...its all sportbike. The cruisers are more comforatable by far, and the acceleration is constant throughout your RPM, but they lack the kick and turning ability of the sportsbike. If you are just more into riding all day long an never have an a$$ ache...you should try a cruiser. I've ridden a few custom choppers here in SC from Ironhorse. They look amazing and sound really good, but the raked front end leaves you stretched out too much for me.

 

Id like to have two different types of bikes but I would want an actual cruiser, not a chopper. Just because they are so friggen confortable.

I think when I get older i will buy one just for ****s and giggles.

I think its awesome to have a damn stereo system and airconditioning on a bike.

WHAT WILL THEY COME UP WITH NEXT

 

it'd be nice to have a cruiser as a 2nd bike but when i get the urge to ride one i just steal my dad's (06 V Star). it's a nice bike.

this one guy i ride with has five... yes 5 bikes. he's got a new gixxer 1000, vmax, f3, z1000, and a gixxer 600 as a dedicated track bike. talk about being the envy of the group!

 

If I was to have another bike, just for cruzing I would get a V-Rod. If I had a larger budget I would get a custom bike.

 

one of these days i want to build a bobber to go along with my sportbike, just to have something different in the fleet
