TOURING CRUISERS
Baggers To Badwater
   Throw a leg over a "great" cruiser for a long weekend and you're sure to decide that there's more to motorcycling than piloting the latest red-hot sportbike through challenging curves....
   But exactly what makes a great cruiser isn't so easy to define as the ingrediants that make a great sportbike. Maxium performance has a certain cold logic that appeals to factory engineers. Cruisers, on the other hand, need to do more than just go, turn and stop. Elusive considerations like "look" and "feel" are most important to the consumer, and both are outside the rational discipline of engineering. Harley-Davidson's unprecedented popularity is clearly hard to fathom from a technological point of view...

On Any Sunday (1971)

                                  

                                                 Found this on the web and had to embed it here.

   Mention the name Bruce Brown in any crowd, and someone will reply: "He's the reason I ride."
   Featuring Steve McQueen with music by the famed Dominic Frontiere, this is without a doubt the quintessential motorcycle film.....

1998 Honda Valkyrie
   As Japanese manufacturers rushed to bring out cruiser models in the 1980's, Honda was in the thick of things with it's V-twin Shadows. During the Nineties, these cruisers grew in displacement and sophistication, but Honda trumped them all with the 1997 introduction of the Valkyrie...

1999 Honda Valkyrie Interstate
Give your riding buddies performance anxiety
   Out in California, they say you can never be too rich, too thin or too tan. And there's sort of a corollary when it comes to touring motorcycles: you can never have too much power, too much comfort, or too much luggage room. And the farther you ride from home, the truer that becomes...

LUXURY TOURING BIKES
Who's The King Of The Road?
   Seated around the conference table are 10 wet, tired and disheveled bikers. Six males and four females, they have together racked up a cumulative total of over 15,000 mile in the last four days, test-riding all of the newest 1999 luxury touring bikes. The last 100 miles were the most brutal, ridden on mountain roads in a cold rain, heavy fog and crosswinds gusting up to 60mph. They should be, and are, exhausted--but you'd never know it from the animation and volume of their conversation....

RING 'CYCLE
   What happens to a Gold Wing when you tune the engine, discard fairing, panniers and stereo, and style it like a custom cruiser? Is it transformed into a muscle-bound, sultry-smooth cruise or is it just a 'Wing which has lost it's way? Then again, maybe Honda is right, and it's latest cruiser "redefines another section of the market". Ian Kerr has come to a decision.
