Well, I was being semi-facetious, but - the former fer sure, the latter I just don't know. It obviously depends on the number of people on it. Single-rider car vs. bus is pretty clear-cut, single-rider bike vs. bus less so. I guess that's why we're let onto HOV. Well, that and the weight thing.

LOL. Not sure about the Rune....it's styling is a little too futuristic for me. I want to rent a VRod for a weekend and check that bike out. I love the styling of it, but have not heard great things from other owners regarding the reliability of that model. I've got time to check out bikes, I'm in no rush and my bike is fine for now I guess.

Here is my honest opinion...

Why would anyone spend 18Gs on an 1100?

Spend 11 and get a meanstreet or something.

I never have been a big fan of cruisers, but I am really digging the looks of the Yamaha warrior these days. That thing is mean looking.

Are you surprised the VRod isn't reliable? It has a Porsche engine, after all.

My next addition to the bike family will have to be more comfortable for a passenger. Maybe a sport-tourer of some sort.

I have to say, if you're looking at cruisers, it's really hard to beat the performance, fit and finish, and reliabilty of Japanese bikes these days. My GS500F doesn't look like a $4K starter bike; it's very well-made, with attention to detail. If I were shopping for a cruiser, I'd be all over the Suzuki C50 Limited - in addition to being a well-made bike, the red paint job with ghost flames is very well executed, and the thing just has style.

I definitely plan on checking out the Japanese cruisers.

Although - according to the sticker, my Japanese bike was made in Spain.
