Metric VS V-Twin

That is the question, Metric VS V-Twin? 

What do you ride?  I currently ride a Yamaha Road Star Silverado.  This was my first cruiser style motorcycle after riding a sport bike for a long time.  At first I could not picture myself saddled up on anything other than a sport bike.  Until that day, that day on that long ride.  My hips hurt, my back hurt; the reality set in that I was not a young buck anymore!

I never seriously thought about a Harley Davidson.  After working in Daytona for years and not only hearing but seeing the problems Harleys had, I made up my mind early on that I would never go that route.  Throw in the cost and my mind was made up. 

I have been riding my Road Star for three years and it has been a great ride.  I would recommend a Road Star or any of the Yamaha cruisers to anyone.  As of late, I have been seemingly bored with my bike.  I have always liked the Heritage Softail which is why I bought the Road Star; it is styled similar to the Heritage and it did not cost as much. 

I must admit, I was impressed with the ride of my friend’s Heritage Softail.  I had no idea it would be so different from my metric cruiser.  I mean, it’s a motorcycle isn’t it.  Well now I know why HD owners are so loyal.  Saying that makes me feel like I am betraying my metric brother & sisters out there but what can I say?  I am sold.  I am graduating.

I am looking at the Ultra Classic and I like the way it feels when I am saddled up on it.  I am sorry to all my Metric Brothers but I think I am graduating to a mack daddy cruiser.  No offense to any of you but I have made up my mind.  Once I make my millions, I will get a mack daddy chopper to tool around town with in addition to my Ultra.

If anyone has any information to share about the Ultra Classic or you just wish to add a comment please do so.  I will be glad to hear either pro or con or any valuable information anyone might have!!

Ride Hard, Ride Safe!
