Whatever you buy it's got to be a cruising bike. These crotch rockes are for faggots.
Vmax -- a bit dated but it was the ultimate "alt" bike of the late 80's.
V65 Magma -- Fastest production bike in '82, and it was a V4
CRUISER. Sort of shuts the fuck down all the crotch rocket proponents from that era. Do they still make it?
Harleys -- Only for old guys? You people are one thing and one thing only... STUPID. Harley still is and always has been the standard. But only true bike afficionadoes know this. Everyone else is just... an observer.
Seriously, cruiser:
