Got a Honda Shadow 600 yesterday, I've always had crotch rockets so figured I would give a cruiser a shot. So far it's awesome, wicked loud with the drag pipes on it, sounds mean.

It rides good but I'm just not as comfortable on it as I am on crotch rockets. I've rode my RC51 from Tampa to Atlanta, 501 miles and it was awesome, I think my lower back and arms would be killing me if I made the same trip on a cruiser.
This was my first cruiser, I wanted to see if I liked it but I now know that I don't. Gonna get another rocket. I like having the power to control traffic more or less.

Late last year I picked up an '03 Sportster 1200 after selling my GSX-R 600, and kinda felt the same way. Rode nicely, loud, felt badass, but at the same time it was uncomfortable and boring. Picked up another GSX-R and feels right at home!
