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.

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)
