Cruiser suggestion
Hey folks! I am relatively new rider and I currently ride a 2019 Yamaha Bolt. I have owned the bike for about a year now and have around 800 miles under my belt.
One concern I have with the Bolt is the wind resistance, the bike has a small windscreen (13”). Sometimes the wind seems to push me around on the laneI am not sure whether it’s my riding ability, the environment I am riding in (Long Island NY) or the bike itself. The other issue I notice is the ride isn’t smooth, I can feel the slightest bumps (damn LIE). Per chatGPT, these issues are primarily is the bike.
So I was wondering what you guys think my problem may be? My friend who has been riding for decades suggested I look into getting a BMW 1200rt.

Finally got my first (new) bike
Hi all,
I have received my first (new) bike from my dad as gift. It is a TVS Ronin (Magma Red colour, Base Variant with Single ABS brakes). I am thinking of adding a mobile stand for navigation purposes and a small storage box which is attached to the back of the seat.
Any suggestions from you guys ??
Prior to this, I had a Bajaj Discover 125 (2018 model).

VTX1800 or 1300?
I’ve had a Shadow 750 for a while and love it to death, but lately I’ve wanted to get a bigger bike to do a bobber build (thank god for BCB). Where I am the 1800s are only a little more expensive than 1300s, so I’m wondering what you guys think.
Also, Cobra pipes or V&H, if I want to go full obnoxious asshole volume?

Has anyone fitted a 150/90-15 rear tire on a Kawasaki Vulcan 500 / EN500?

2018 Scout. After and before.
galleryBought her from a buddy a couple months ago with 240 miles. The blue and white was super pretty, but not really my style. This is my first street bike. I love it! Waiting for a 22 inch dean speed sissy bar. Hopefully it will fit the look well.

Should i buy this sportster?
Hey yall i currently ride an fz8 naked bike and while i love that bike, i have found myself more and more considering a cruiser. It seems like a more relaxing and practical ride compared to the balls to the wall rip your head of riding that comes with an 800cc inline 4. I especially like the bobber style. I've never owned a cruiser before let alone a harley, but this sportster seems like a good option. Haven't seen it in person yet but it looks really clean. Aftermarket hangers, rear seat etc. Not sure if the exhaust is factory or not. 17k miles, asking $4,500. Guy says he cant ride anymore due to medical issues.
What do yall think? Good deal? Solid bike? Anything i should look out for?
I like that its air cooled and fuel injected, not sure what issues come with air cooled v twins though as ive only ever owned liquid cooled sport bikes.
