I supposedly fit the demographic (male 51 YO) for the Harley image of riding a fat, overdressed, road cruiser, bedecked in chrome and fringe. I have never liked that image or felt the pull to be part of that community. I have many friends that have spent fortunes on those bikes, have the tattoos, the black T-shirt from every dealership they've ever been to prove it, and have little else going for them in thier lives.....The old adage "LIVE TO RIDE, RIDE TO LIVE" truly fits them, because they would rather ride than take care of thier marriage, do maintenence on their shack, or show up to thier jobs.
If I were in the market for a street cruiser, I would look strongly at the Honda Shadow, or Victory Cruiser bikes, but for now, i'll stick with my Kaw KLR enduro.
