Global Moderator mjh937 Posted June 6, 2017 Global Moderator Share Posted June 6, 2017 Yamaha has announced a new cruiser bike to complete with the big Harleys and Indians. What do you guys think about it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjeepdrv Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 It's got a lot of nice features. My dad and brother and other relatives ride big Harley's, so they'll probably go look at it, even though they wouldn't leave HD for probably anything. If I ever get a touring bike though, it will probably be a an FJ. I'm the odd one in the family when it comes to motorcycles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faffi Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 I find it fugly in the extreme. I also find it weird to use a 100 year old engine design in what looks like a contemporary tourer more in the same mold as BMW multis. Yamaha should have outfitted it with a 150 hp version of the current Vmax engine, one tuned for asphalt-ripping torque. I still wouldn't want it, but it would have made total sense.

Premium Member Mr.Puss Posted June 7, 2017 Premium Member Share Posted June 7, 2017 I usually dont dig bikes like this but I really like it. The styling reminds me of a classic car mash-up .... like this cool '58 Edsel and this '64 Riviera 8-) . And those "jet boosters" up high behind the passenger seat with the dual antenna...awesome.

Global Moderator mjh937 Posted June 7, 2017 Author Global Moderator Share Posted June 7, 2017 I am not really a cruiser fan, but I kind of like it. I will have to wait until I see one in person before I decide for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShiftHer Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 V-twin, air cooled, touring... I'm so confused x_x Styling looks boss, though. 8-) Find me at ShiftHer.com & My YouTube Channel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Global Moderator mjh937 Posted June 7, 2017 Author Global Moderator Share Posted June 7, 2017 I had not noticed it was air cooled. That does seem odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
