I've thought about it for years and am finally in the market for a new bike. I want a cruiser / touring style that will be comfortable for me and the Mrs. Had my mind set on a Suzuki C90, but they don't make those any longer so then figured on a C109RT, but talking to Atlantic Power and Cycle...they can't even order them. WTF?
Not real familiar with the dealerships in the area or what other make/model may be similar, but the 0% financing through Suzuki was a powerful attractant.
Oh well, onward in my search.
Suggestions welcome.

Lots of used ones with very few miles pass throught the classifieds. Save a ton of money.

Tons of used Harleys, it seems.

I would go to Victory in White Plains.

They have nice bikes. :yahoo:

Thanks. E-mailed the seller. Used can be a tough pill to swallow, but that is a ton of savings.

Granted, I haven't been in Atlantic Power & Cycle for a few years... But they were a complete gyp joint when I was in the market for my Valkyrie Interstate... I ended up going to Heyser Cycle up in Laurel... I got the scoot I wanted more than $3k less than what they wanted... I used to live 2 miles from them and literally would have gone to Virginia before dealing with them again...

If getting what you want so there is no 'buyers remorse' is important... look at some other shops as well...

Yep, just gotta be careful. Usually get a lot of extras too. I picked up a 2008 StreetGlide a year ago. 3400 miles. Extra seat, backrest, luggage bag, taller windscreen and some other little stuff. Very happy with it.

If you want comfort, get a Gold Wing.

If you want comfort, get a Barca-Lounger.

This may explain why there are none for sale used. Plus I seem to be always outbid by women on ebay for them.

When you're looking at bikes, make sure it is designed to carry the load you intend to put on it.

My Suzuki DL-1000 is a suprisingly comfortable touring bike and can carry more weight than any cruiser

Yep. That is one reason that I'm not looking at the Suzuki C-50 like what my buddy has. Really nice bike, but lacking for power...so says he. I wanted to step up to the C90 or the C109RT, but they are not making either of them any longer.

That DL-1000 is a sharp bike, but just not the style I'm looking for. I need something that the Mrs. can ride on comfortably.

:confused: Is she 4 foot tall? The Givi top case with the back pad makes for a comfy seat.

Plus it can carry almost 500 lbs

If you get one make sure you put the cool sharks mouth w/teeth on the tank, chicks dig that sort of stuff

Again, just not the style I'm looking for. That is more of a sport bike (to me) and I'm looking for a cruiser / tour bike.

I wish I could visualize better. Really nice bike, but wonder if I would ruin it with bags, back rest (may need a different style seat) and a windshield.

Beautiful bike. Often makes me wonder why they are selling them.

You do know that some people ride for reason completely unrelated to what "chicks dig", right?

(And no, I don't have those stickers on my DL650, in fact, it has very few stickers, even the factory ones are mostly gone)

I'd be afraid to ride that one. I think he built it for show. I just put it here because I thought it was purdy.

I called and talked to the guy. Built from scratch, ground up. He did not recommend it for me as I know nothing about working on them and it would be hard to find a 'fixer' for it since it's all custom.

Onward.

That's what it looks and sounds like. Not a HD motor, not a HD frame. I wonder why he even calls it a Harley? :lol:

Picked it up Tuesday. Here is a picture of it in my driveway. I prefer without the back rest which is how I have it now.

Limited Edition and mine is number 258 out of 300 made

Now that it's too late, nice bike! Had I seen this in time, I would have asked how the bike would get used. For sure, you chose more cruise and less tour.

Yes Sir. I have no real desire to do long haul, cross country stuff, but more day to day, to and from work and fun rides on the weekends. I took it "up town" today and did the beltway and BW Parkway which was a lot of fun. Picked it up Tuesday with 4 miles on it and it now has 475. :-) It's a pleasure to ride and I'm very happy with my choice.

I've heard a set of motorcycle tires can last upwards of 20,000 miles on one of those..

Beautiful!

While on a recent trip to Seattle, I saw in a Boeing company parking lot, the most customized Victory bike yet. Was Ironman themed, red and gold, the whole bike. And it wasnt the one Tom Arnold was involved with. This one had the Ironman mask engraved on the sprocket cover, the butt ends of the handgrips were gold, it was crazy, seemed like every single part of that bike was done over in the theme.

Just got back from a 12 day vacation to England, Ireland and Scotland. Glad to be home cause I missed my dog, my bike and my pool...in that order.

I have an 04 Vegas...

You did go to Vic of Southern Md? They are good people up there, I deal with them for a good bit of stuff, sometimes ride all the way up there for oil even though I can get it 2 minutes from my house just to drop in....


I head the new 106s had a 'burn your nuts' off issue if you sat still for too long at a light or something? Any truth to it? :lol:

And it seems they get paid well.

Then it probably wasn't the "Boing" parking lot, it was probably the UNION parking lot that adjoins the Boing plant..

Yep, went to the good folks at Vic of SOMD. Just got mine back from the first 500 mile service plus a stage one upgrade. I have not had ny 'burn your nuts' off issues yet, but at a light maybe a minute or two has not been an issue at all. Not all that hot out yet though either so we'll see what happens as the summer heats up.

The fun starts when you get caught in some ugly stop and start crawling backup and it's 2pm and 98 degrees with little breeze. :evil:

:lol: That was the only thing I've heard so far about them (heat wise), if you get stuck for a bit at a light or something, the heat comes straight up rather than breaks up/scatters around somewhat... Other than that, the same people said they are still happy as can be with them :yay:

But it is still trucking like a champ :yay:
