ok folks here to test ya knowledge... I have a friend who has not long passed their test and wants a cruiser..but doesnt know which one to buy...some spec wanted...up to 600cc, not to heavy,can spend max of 2000, and wants one no more than two years old and not an import/chinese bike any suggestions??oh by the way she's a short arse LOL
Meza what's wrong with a virago drob and myself have Virago 535's and love them. Good all round bikes and will take plenty of luggage to for camping weeks.
They make a Dragstar 250 and 650 there nice bikes. If you go on the vsoc site there are bikes for sale on there. The thing is with a Virago they go on for ever, mine is a 1991 and drobs is a 1989 I think and to look at both of them you would never know the age of them.
Less than 2 years old and she doesn't want to spend more than £2k????!!!!
Forget it.
Anything that matches those requirements would have something lethally wrong with it.
Mine was £1700 and it's a '99 reg.
Try a 125, 250 or 400cc Dragstar. The 650 Custom weighs 37 Stone (230 kg) and the Classic is even heavier.
I don't believe too many short people have trouble with Cruisers, but it will be a stretch. A lot of short-arses get them because they're low. They forget that they also have a long distance to the bars and footpegs and so end up riding like a splatted newt!!
Try some and see how she feels on them.
Failing that, Bandits are favourites among many shorties. Quite easy to have lowered, as well.
