We are looking into a European river cruise but have heard that the age tends to skew higher. We will be ~50 and are looking for a chill experience but with people around our age. Curious about others experiences. Should we be concerned about everyone being significantly older?

Hello y'all, I'm looking at getting a cruiser here soon and was wondering if there are some bikes that would fit someone 6ft tall better than others. I don't have a super long inseam but definitely don't want to be cramped. I have my eye on a Suzuki Intruder 1400 but I read they're not very ergonomic for taller riders. I definitely want to do more touring on this bike as well so something comfortable for long distances is important. Thanks!

Edit: I currently have a g650gs that fits pretty well with a taller saddle and different foot pegs. I'll be keeping it for more off road touring and use the cruiser for road based trips

im thinking about getting a suzuki c50 and was wondering about the second shifting pedal and have been trying to figure out its use but nothing comes up. can anyone explain to me what its use is?

I have a 99 Honda Shadow 750 ACE. I want to put new bars on it but I'm having trouble finding extension cables for it. Does anyone know any decent websites?

I'm buying my first cruiser this year with a budget of 12k CAD. For that money I can get a brand new Vulcan 900 LT with saddlebags, windscreen and passenger backrest. I'm familiar with Kawasaki as I ride a Ninja 500 and really enjoy their reliability.

However, I'm also looking at the Heritage Softail as it got more power, sounds better and looks better in my opinion. For that price range I can get a model from around 2010 with ok mileage.

My main priority is reliability so the japanese bike is the more obvious choice, but the Harley looks so good.

What do you all think ?

Thanks !

edit : I also plan to do some light touring with it, sometimes with a passenger.

Hey Fellas,

Pretty new to motorcycles, and am going into my second riding season this year.

I currently have stock exhaust on my bike, and really unsure where to begin. I love a lot of V&H pipes, however they're not manufactured new any longer, and Cobra seems so spendy, but am interested in their slash cut slip ons.

I want something pretty loud to be able to be heard/seen better from drivers (drivers in Oregon are pretty lackadaisical). Not too into silencers, or baffles (however I know baffles serve more than just silencing the exhaust). Any input or recommendations would be helpful!

I'm not against buying used, as long as I am knowing what I'm buying. If used, things to look for? I know obvious cracks, damage, dents, rust, on the whole system, flange, etc. Is there anything not so intuitive to look for?

I know when switching to a stronger free-flowing system, I'll be looking to rejet my carb, however is this fairly simple to figure out, or is it more worth it to pay someone to do it? If the latter is more worth it, general prices or anecdotes?

Sorry for the mountain of questions, just thought I'd start here.

My Vstar was stolen and recovered by PD surprisingly it’s in good shape but they stripped off my forced air intake and all the ductwork so it’s just an open hole into the air box. Is there anything compatible that I can attach so I can slap a new air filter on or do I have to track down specifically Vstar hoses and filter?

Anyone had cruise NCL with tortola port of call carrying philippine passport with B2 visa requires additional visa? Any experiences you may hava and share is much appreciated.

Hey so been getting into bikes for the last 6-12 months from cruisers to sport bikes and learning about how they do things differently, i recently picked up a vstar 250 and i know im gonna get bored of the power inevitably but i love the body style of the bike and like the classic look and was wondering if there is a specific term i can look up with that same style to find other bikes in the future i could be interested in but would really appreciate the help and everybody ride safe out there

edit: Thanks to all the help and really appreciate it, and i think you guys are right about the dyna haha we have lams laws in my country so anything under 650 is the limit until you get your full license but again thanks everybody and safe rides out there
