What cruiser?

Postby boxerscott » Thu Jul 23, 2015 8:06 pm

To ride, not to look at. Two up is a must. I am thinking Triumph Thunderbird Storm. Nice styling, I also like the look of the Guzzi Eldorado but am thinking the Triumph has more "cool"

I have previously had a Honda F6c but this one has to be a twin.

What about a Ducati Diavel.... :shock:
Edit I don't think they do pillion :oops: Then it'll be the Guzzi , based only on a sit on test recently of a Bellagio which had a very un cruiser like seating , peg position (rear set), almost Honda like...

The standard Diavel will take a passenger, but the seat profile is horizontal so the passenger is not comfy for a longer distance.

The Diavel Strada has a much more padded seat and backrest, but I have not sat on it.

edit: after looking at the Triumph and the Guzzi, and being a huge fan of the Diavel, I would suggest the Ducati should be on your list of potential bikes.

Never gave it a second thought as I thought it was a solo "power cruiser" but I will check the strada version out.

Thought this post might be amusing to some.

The Diavel Strada is probably a bit more "fast sport/tour" definitely not relaxed ! quite like the bad boy looks though. In a class of one, most definitely.
