Since I sold my Ninja I am sick of being bikeless.
Wife did approved cruiser so she can enjoy it too. I was looking at Yamaha warrior but those are too much money, so I looked at Yamaha VStar custom 650. What to you guys think? Good/bad? Any other ideas? Thx Peter |

Those Boulevards are 2 big for me. Maybe 80C.
I love the look of a Warrior, but those are pricey. 03-04 still around 7K. |

dude she will be more comfortable on the back of the concourse 14, than on a warrior!
you also have a shit load of storage for her purse or tampons, or your ball and chain, or the whip, etc... look at the back seat of the warrior, how the fooock is she going to sit on that thing, get real peter, go look at the kawi, she will like it. tell her its a touring bike.
