Motorcycle Reviews - 2009 Muscle Cruiser Shootout

[Danziman78]

Look i'm just gunna say it ....

If you buy a Harley you get genuine 1942 technology , I'm surprised they change gear with a foot pedal

[azpwnz]

@Danziman78 Yep, thats why all of the Jap companies copied Harley....

[MadSmokerBBQ]

wtf is that talking behind flatutlent pipe sounds?  Great editing.

[MrJeff281]

You guys are all wrong, the Star Stryker rules the cruiser class of motorcycles. Anything else is just.... well I said enough. Get a Star Stryker and you will know what I am talking about!!!

[sfeathe1]

Those are wannabees... Just get a Harley davidson 883 or 1200 sportsters.

[FullBloodedHmoob]

KAWASAKI IS THE BEST, my first bike as a Kawasaki and it didn't disappoint me...HONDA is my second choice. I would like a VTX 1800 though

[aphasia1972]

VULCAN 1600 meanstreak stock is a great one too and as a customized version awesome like custom exhaust,FI power commander,kuryakyn hypercharger thats good for more than 85hp and torque enough to make an earthquake on the road

[Butcher1949]

I have a 2008 Boulevard C109rt, and I challenge anyone to a uphill roll-on from a dead stop! I'll smoke your fuckin' ass!! and my bike is Stock!!

[MrJones706]

Jeez,

You kids should try a Kawasaki VN2000. 2053 CC V-Twin with 140FP of torque at right around 3K RPMs and 110-120 HP at the rear wheel, the thing has plenty of power for anyone. Unfortunately, it really is made for larger, more experienced riders. It would blow this thing away...

[722erodz]

2050cc which one is that?

[myrryxmas]

not to pick nits, but the exhaust sounds drowned out half your narrative.

[fattrucker01]

performance bikes shouldnt have shaft drive, these bikes are too heavy and stretched out to handle decently and they sound like crap and they're really not that much cheaper than harleys

[HandsonicArt]

performance bikes should have sharft drive....what about the vmax with 200 break hp???? shaft drive! why is it that 1100hp cars have a tail shaft, as a chain would fuckin break! i own a shaft drive and they are so much better than chain or belt, which i have owned. these new power cruisers sound awesome and they are heaps cheaper and heaps faster than harleys...if you have ever test riden either of these bikes, you will find that you can hook into a corner nearly as quick as a sports bike....

[fattrucker01]

i have had MANY bikes of all kinds. shaft drive bikes number one, shift poorly especially the 1st to second gear change which makes them damn near impossible to drag race, they handle poorly except in a straight line, and they waste power, true, shafts don't break(although) I haven't broken a chain in decades, BUT shafts are subject to just as many failures of their own kind, ie broken gears, stripped splines etc. and as for being faster than Harleys.........Duh!

[RosieKR]

these arent muscle bikes... i mean, c'mon. less than a 100 hp and heavy... that's called a turd. sure, i like the look of the warrior with the fat exhaust and such, but it needs the heart of the vmax, not a harley.

[mbrang00]

Your a fucking retard, you base your facts on HP?!?!?!? Do you even own a bike?

Go ask daddy to teach you somthing about bikes and the effect of torque before replying back. Until then, keep your face hole closed.

[RosieKR]

'83 v65 magna & '85 v65 sabre. i didnt say i don't like the warrior, they just could've given it some fight. torque is good and all if all you plan on doing is cruising the boulevard but it's nice to have something that'll take you beyond a city block and 100mph. now grow up. you missed my argument completely. a "muscle bike" of today shouldnt be getting smoked by muscle bike designs from 20+ years ago.

[HandsonicArt]

and i guess you either dont ride or you are a simpleton, have you ever ridden either of these bikes? have you ever ridden a cruiser that can wheelstand at 100k/h?? hp powwer may be 100hp but watch the torque rape most sports bikes up there yoshimura pipe.... and your comment on yesteryear.....why is it that the 70's charger R/T straight 6 cylinder has more power than a 5.7 liter chev??? dont lose to much sleep thinking bout this simplton......

[RosieKR]

a true muscle bike is the new VMax even though it really isnt that much faster than the 1st gens. but if the japs took their head out of their asses and got rid of these vtwin "muscle bikes", they'd be in their right mind to throw a 1300cc inline 4 shaftie on the m109 for instance.

[lolzwtfbbq85]

i stick with my warrior over the new vmax. i'm not really interested in a bike that gets the same mpg as my v8.

[dudess4rent]

I have a Honda Magna and that is a muscle bike. comfortable yet nimble enough, V4, baby! Do we have anything like that for a reasonable price these days?

[thecowside]

@dudess4rent nope. Honda needs to bring it back.

[bgamebiker]

Make a decision!

[mandaltby]

These guys are new, and lo-fi...I dig that

but ya got to explain it a bit more mates if ya say its a shootout

what shootout

this was all suzuki

[mandaltby]

suzuki paid these dudes

you choices are Suzuki or suzuki or Suzuki

Boss Tweeds Bike shop

[chomanttocs]

Lazareth....Sorry

[chomanttocs]

Have any of you guys heard of a quad company called Lazereth? I saw one of their quads on youtube, they look cool!

[jeffandmissymello]

if thats the case why do they not look cool

[Gunslyngerz]

Actually, the new V-Max is about 8000 dollars more.

[InfinityDan]

yep, if someone knows where i can get a new vmax for $11000, i'll buy a few, let me know, thanks.

[coastdicedealer]

i bought a 03 v-max new was 11k

[InfinityDan]

my 06 was $11000 as well, the new one is $18000.

[hongkongsucksballs]

the new yamaha vmax will smoke both of these bikes and is only 1000 dollars more than the suzuki m90.

[mformo1]

Cruisers are not just about performance but more about looking cool. If you are not a cruiser fan you're in the wrong place.

[mikentrishcartwright]

"Style"? The Suzi has "style"?????? Yeah, that horrible tank seam just OOOZES style. Typical cheap clone style. This video sounded like an infomercial to me. I owned the LC1500 along with several other big metric cruisers, Harley etc. But the comments here sound hollow and like a commercial. Nothing more. I love all bikes, all brands, but ugly is ugly and tank seams are UGLY on any brand.

[cominotti]

Talk, then show the bikes riding with sound, then talk again. Like this, we cant hear you really ...

[mformo1]

Finally! Video of the Suzuki M90. I have been searching for months after seeing one at a dealership. Yes, it does look very much like its big brother the"9". Great bike and great price. $16,000 on the road here in Australia.

[yyadamyy]

First!  Everyone else sucks!
