Thread: New cruiser vs second hand (motorcycle)

I can't offer any advice regarding cruiser bikes since all of mine have been sport tourers ( currently a Suzuki 1250 Bandit), but with new vs second hand, with new you know the service history and will serve you for many years with no hassles with regular maintenance etc.... That said, there must be a few cruisers out there that people have bought then changed their mind so will be just run in.
If you are looking for a more upright riding position ( hence the cruiser style), with a few tweaks a sport tourer ( or your CB900 ) might fit the bill.
I'm not really a fan of the highway pegs with your legs up high up the front, with no chance of putting your foot down mid corner should you have a little slide. But of course like rifles, everyone has their preferences
