Just my opinion based on my own experiences, but I rode through most of the 80's on various bikes. I had no use for crotch rockets at all. Give me a nice low-slung cruising bike with a fat rear tire and a step seat any day. Back before helmet laws came into effect there was nothing in the world so fine as sitting back and snuggling your head in between a nice big soft pare of tits while taking a long cruise up the highway to the beach or to nowhere at all.
Feet up on the pegs.
ahhh
And that "slow cruiser" I owned did a 1/4 mile in 13 seconds. Then there was the V 65 Magna that was much faster even. On my old Virago I wound it up to 185 km/hr on a desolate stretch of open road, that was plenty speedy for me. Just how fast does a person need to go? These sport bikes doing over 240 km/hr are death machines as far as I'm concerned.
Nope, nothing like a long tour on a cruiser. You can change riding positions and be more comfortable for longer periods. And today's Harleys certainly aren't the leaky clunky things some people would make them out to be.
Ah I miss my old riding days.
