Best answer:
Do you want to get a new one or a used one? For a new one the options are relatively limited anyway since bikes get bigger and bigger each year because of the engine displacement craze. Because of that, there are only very few new cruisers that have 600-650cc. If you want to get a new one, pretty much the only options are: - Hyosung Aquila V80 / GV650 (647cc, 72hp) - Hyosung ST7 (678cc, 62hp) - Suzuki Boulevard S40 (652cc, 31hp) As far as I'm aware these three models are the only brand-name 600-650cc cruisers that are available new. Strictly speaking the Hyosung Aquila V80 / GV650 is the only one since the other two have slightly more than 650cc ;) As you can see the Hyosungs (made in South Korea) are unusual among cruiser motorcycles since they have much more power (and are much higher revving) than cruisers by the more traditional manufacturers. I really like the Hyosung Aquila V80 / GV650 - it has a great price tag and very sporty looks for a cruiser. Nice curves. They also have very good reviews and are very reliable (there will always be one or two clueless fools who think that they are Chinese and hence poor quality). It is true, however, that parts availability is worse than for the more traditional manufacturers, since Hyosung has a much smaller dealer network. If you want to get a cruiser with a slightly bigger engine, say 700-950cc, you'd have more options, such as the following: - Harley-Davidson Sportster Iron 883 (883cc) - Harley-Davidson Sportster Superlow (883cc) - Honda Shadow RS (745cc) - Honda VT750C(A) ("Shadow") (745cc) - Kawasaki Vulcan 900 (903cc) - Moto Guzzi Bellagio (936cc) - Moto Guzzi California Vintage (757cc) - Moto Guzzi Nevada (744cc) - Suzuki Boulevard C/S50 (805cc) - Triumph America (865cc) - Triumph Speedmaster (865cc) - Yamaha V-Star 950 (942cc) If you want to get a used one you have more options. There are two bikes in the 650cc class that often appear on the used bike market. The first one is the Suzuki LS650 Savage, which is the predecessor of the Suzuki Boulevard S40. A nice one usually costs $2500-4000 depending on age, mileage, and extras. The second one is the Yamaha V-Star 650 (a nice one will usually cost $2500-7000 depending on age, mileage, and extras).

Answer 5
Lighter weight is easier to ride, quicker, more agile. You can buy one of the three Japanese 250cc cruisers, about 330 pounds, or the bloated Korean 388 pound 250cc cruiser.... or you can ride the 380 pound Suzuki S40. Or one of the bigger, heavier ones, 500-600 pounds. If you want a long distance cruiser to touring on the Interstate you will be wanting a heavier bike, a V-Star 650, maybe something up to 950. Or more.

Answer 6
Harley-Davidson, Honda, Kawasaki, Suzuki, Yamaha all make mid-weight cruiser style bikes in the 600-900cc range. You need to shop around at the local motorcycle dealers to see what's available and find one you like and can afford. DO NOT even consider anything built by Hyosung or any other cheap Chinese piece of crap. They won't last long enough to rub the nipples off the tires, and you can't find repair parts for them.

Answer 8
As a beginning rider, you should avoid cruisers altogether. The riding position puts you at a disadvantage in control of the bike, and you will never progress beyond pitiful mediocrity as a rider. Once you have learned good bike control skills on a standard or dual sport bike, then if you are ready to stop improving, you can settle for a cruiser. But really, cruisers are for the old or feeble, who have trouble throwing a leg over a motorcycle. Motorcycling is a great sport and pastime. Don't settle for the limitations of a cruiser unless you are really ready to give up on life.
