Wheezle Posted April 25, 2010 Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 Why you already have a cruiser?Trade the Cruiser in on it and keep the tuna IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheezle Posted April 25, 2010 Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 Atleast not on curvy roads. I would suggest you trade it for something other than another cruiser. Maybe a sport touring or an enduro? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artmageddon Posted April 25, 2010 Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 Hmm. Kinda with Lance on this one. Maybe a motard? Maybe a cafe racer? Or trade them both and go big twin if you want another cruiser. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidgetTodd Posted April 25, 2010 Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 I have decided I am not really a sportsbiker...You've not had a sportbike yet, how can you decide that? Trade it for a SV650. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SAMBUSA Posted April 25, 2010 Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 thinking about trading in the katana (once fixed) for a 2010 1200 sportster "48" model..... discuss...Dont be a retard. Keep the Kat and continue to learn on it. It'll be easier/cheaper to fix than a newer bike. Once you've mastered the sportbike riding position/style then move up to a nicer/newer sportbike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmoosego Posted April 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 I just really dig the looks of the "48", kinda want one because I wanna have a bunch of harley shirts... which is still better then affliction shirts... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmoosego Posted April 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 Have you ever ridden a sporty for more than a couple miles? You wont be happyactually I spent some time on a 1200 last year at the demo day up at farrows... on that and a couple buells... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAMBUSA Posted April 25, 2010 Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 actually I spent some time on a 1200 last year at the demo day up at farrows... on that and a couple buells...How much time? 10 miles? Seriously bro, the sporty is not gonna be comfortable especially after being used to your cruiser. If you wanna get a cruiser go for it but why have 2 when you can have a cruiser and a sportbike? If you are stuck on getting a Hardly Ableson, DONT get a sporty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are stuck on getting a Hardly Ableson, DONT get a sporty.I know but it is in the affordable range... I truly want a road glide as my end game... I gotta pay off the c-50 so I can do something with it... I need a more powerful cruiser under me... and you are right I do need to give the kat a chance... she only bucked me once and mostly it were my fault... but I still dig the looks of that "48" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAMBUSA Posted April 25, 2010 Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 Okay, I'll say it. The 48 is ghey. The sporty is a WOMAN's bike. You'd look like an elephant fucking a football on that thing. Keep the Kat. Save you're money. Learn how to ride it and move up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MidgetTodd Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 The Katana is not a sportbike, get the Pony to let you take that SV for a ride. And as Sam has said, nono to the Harley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremygsxr Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 Don't do it Moose! I say keep the tuna or get something a little more sporty (not in the Harley sense). The SV would be great. I have been on a few Katanas, and they are ok bikes, but I woudn't want to judge sportbikes from those rides. Get sumpin that handles good.

Steve Butters Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 I need a more powerful cruiser under me... i believe iron pony did/or is taking a trade on an 01 vmax, that carbon fiber one sitting back there in serviceor pay off c-50 and step up to the second gen! ...thats my plan after i graduate in 2 years, try to get a 09+ so i can park my 97 and retire it...never going to sell it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drew95gt Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 Why not go something more sport touring type like an FZ6? Maybe a standard like a naked SV650 or a 599? Lots of cool bikes out there that won't lay ya over the tank like a supersport. I agree with the other guys, I wouldn't go with another cruiser since you already have a C-50.
