My wife and I have had many discussions about cruisers, She likes the way they look better than Sport bikes or Sport Standards (like my fz1).
I want her to pursue getting a Motorcycle license herself and promised her we could get her whatever cruiser she wants.
She wants me to get a cruiser (in addition to my FZ1) with a comfy rear seat so she can just sit on the back and go for rides with me.
I am not totally opposed to her idea, but I really know very little about cruisers. When I sat on a few at the dealer they felt very big and heavy.
Many of my friends have HD's, and my wife really likes harleys. Personally I have no preference.
If you guys were to get a cruiser (and I know some of you have them already) what would you suggest that would be comfortable for my wife to sit on the back of? It can either be new or used, I have no real plans. I am just curious what I should focus on if I decide to go this route.
My one friend has a cool looking blacked out Harley with a 1200 motor in it, and his wife rides on the back, but she is tiny and probably not bothered by the equally tiny rear seat on that thing. My wife is 6 feet tall and all leg. She refuses to get on the back of my FZ1 because she thinks her butt will look too big.... so keep that in mind with your recommendations. Links to bikes and pictures are very welcome here.
