    Just seems people have an obsession with the cruiser style, from watching too many movies set in Arizona and California. If I was a bad boy retro, I'd have a Norton or Triumph, or try to buy something in that style.

    The materials that are used to make modern sport/motard/dirt bikes, the rake they have, the wheel size, wheelbase, etc aren't dumb luck, they having been evolving for years.

    Cruisers are great if the roads are good. Comfortable riding position, nice wide saddle and low center of gravity. Not a whole lot of real performance riding but just nice clean, relaxing fun. I guess it's all about choices!

    Well, if one day my garage is properly filled with the 5 bikes I want to own, I have to admit one of them would be a Harley. The others (not necessarily in order) would be a Ducati 1098, Triumph Bonneville, 1969 BMW R69S (already have that one) Suzuki 400 DRM, and a big fat Road King.
    Regds,
    Jim

    I agree somewhat, especially living here in Arizona! But there are quite a few enduros/dirt bikes naturally, from all the sand, of course!
