[QUOTE="excat, post: 2604667, member: 29449"] '00-'08 Honda Sabre (stopped making them in '08) - lightweight, good seat height for an older fella to make it easier to get on and off, 1100cc has plenty of umph, and lots of soft or hard bag options. Honda VTX 1800 - they are nice, powerful, same low seat height, but are a much more "sportier" cruiser style. Victory has a few in the cruiser lines that are nice, light, and affordable, very well balanced, and ride really well. Probably one of the best balanced bikes I've ever ridden. They feel really light when standing them up, and very easy to control, you don't even feel the weight of them when throwing them into a corner like other bikes. I really like older Kawasaki Vulcan's, the 1500 classics, a bit on the heavy side though. They are nice bikes. The 900 Vulcan's don't ride as well in my opinion. The newer Vulcan's are ok, I don't like the look of them as well as the older one's, but never got to ride one, so I can't comment on the ride quality. I believe the newer Vulcans go all the way up to 2000cc. Suzuki Boulevard line is nice. They are lighter than a Vulcan, if I remember correctly a little lower seat height like the Honda I mentioned, and they ride smooth. With your size, I would stick in the 1100 cc minimum, if not stick to the 1500-2000cc range, but that will all depend on your budget, and how heavy of a bike you are wanting. (I own a Honda Sabre right now) [/QUOTE]
