I ride an F4i and am familiar with sport bikes, but my dad after his long retirement from riding has decided that he wants to start riding again and is looking for a cruiser. To be honest I don't know much about cruisers and haven't had much experience with them either. I suggested that my dad try out different bikes to see which feels the best, but in the meantime do any of you have any suggestions or comments that could point us in the right direction? My dad rode for a while in his younger days and occasionally takes out my F4i so he isn't a complete noob. He's looking for a midsized cruiser, not too big or heavy. I understand I'm posting on a cbr forum haha, but any unbiased advice would be great. Thanks guys!

 

Honda Shadow 750. Good dependable cruiser, enough power, comfortable. Best of all, its a Honda. ;-)

 

CBR1000F? LOL...

Seriously, though, I've always liked the Magnas (VF750C).
Hell, if I find one for the right price, I'll probably buy it.

 

Victory Vegas Jackpot.

Looks and handles great. Only weighs as much as a 750, and no where near as heavy as a harley.

 

Just get a Goldwing, he'll be happy then.
