Best Value Cruiser Motorcycles On Sale Right Now

In the US Kawasakis can be had at under MSRP, sometimes quite a bit under. The Vulcan 900 is a fun Sunday morning cruiser.

I have an 01 kawi vulcan 800. Paid only 2500. Excellent and underrated. Reliable and sounds and rides great. All while being affordable. Nuff said

Harley is going to price themselves out of existence.

I bought a 2012 Suzuki boulevard c50t for 5,500 dollars this year ,it’s an incredible underrated bike it has everything you need for a long journey

Earlier this year I bought a 2009 Kawasaki Vulcan 900LT from an individual, all stock with 4900 miles (like new!) for $4k. It is a beautiful and very capable twisty cruiser. It is a blast to ride, I love this bike!

It really is an indictment against Harley that Indian motorcycles can offer multiple bikes that are far more affordable than the cheapest Harley and outperform them, too! Harley has really fallen behind in the very basics of motorcycle production. Let's face it Harley riders, like myself, the only reason Harley still exists is because of brand loyalty and reputation. It has nothing to do with the quality, performance, and value of the product they offer.

Waiting for the BMW R12 ($16k base MSRP US). Finally, after many attempts, BMW may have figured out the cruiser segment.

You can get a 2 nd hand Harley of anything you want for $5,000-$10,000 with low mileage with accessories.

Indian is killing it with scout and chief

I bought the Royal Enfield Super Meteor after a ton of research and weighting. It was the most comfortable motorcycle I could find with decent power. I wanted a bike that could 80MPH comfortably but still get decent gas milage. I did not know about the sub 9000 Yamaha, or I would have looked into it as well. I tried out the meteor 350 was enamored buy how comfortable it was and decided to weight on the Super Meteor. I took a chance based on many reviews on it being the most comfortable bike out their for someone over 6 foot and ordered it site unseen as soon as ordering opened up.

The Soft tail Harley Heritage Classic is the best Cruiser/Tourer on the market in my opinion, because I ride one. LOL

I own a 25 year old Sporty 883 and buy now for long distance rides a Royal Enfield Super Meteor. Enough power for an old man and good quality.

Buy used metric cruisers. They're much cheaper and reliable.

I recently got a vulcan S650 as my first bike and still loving it

Looking forward to both the Shotgun 650 and your review of it.

If I would replace my old friend (Vulcan) with a new or newer cruiser from this video I would propably choose a Bolt. My kind of riding is at this point a sunny day, a few friends and more or less keeping to the speed limits. Or shortish solo trips that can be done in a few days. Most value for the money is the reason, with still a huge enjoyment factor. Got my license in -74 so been at it now for a while, and tried most types of bikes earlier in life. Here in Sweden we have a short season and american bikes are ridiculously priced and I don´t want to identify as a lawyer or dentist anyway but if I was forced to have one my choice would be a Scout. But all my earlier bikes have been japanese so not changing a winning formula. Keep up the good work, it is nice to have these videos to watch especially now that riding is on hold over the winter!

3:10 This is exactly why HD is going Direct To Consumer, skipping the middle man markup. Motorcycle manufacturers are trying to sell their products as cheap as possible, and that means the elimination of dealerships. Suzuki just announced they’re also going DTC, as are several vehicle manufacturers. A few years from now the only way you’ll be able to purchase a new vehicle is online. You can mark my words.

Was surprised you didn't add the Suzuki M109R. I'd say it's comparable to the Chief and Softail in power and price, but more reliable. Only down side is the weight, but it's still close to the others you mentioned.

I ride a 2008 Softail Custom, to me it's the cruiser I've always wanted, it has everything I love in a cruiser. I've had it from new and can't see me ever selling it! 🇬🇧

For a first time budget buyer you can’t go wrong with the Honda Shadow or that Yammi Bolt I think. Good looking, medium displacement bikes at good prices. Plus they are bullet proof. But if you want to step it up and get the classic American cruiser I’d choose Harley. Beats Indian in resale, aftermarket and shop support. I like their fit and finish better too.
