and btw why do you hate them so much??? learn to respect man

S40 is a good one.

see if you can't find a couple older Honda Shadows. Honda's cruisers aren't usuallly the most advanced/pretty/agile/speedy of the bunch, but they are usually pretty bulletproof mechanically.

i like crusiers alot any one else have any ideas....please

Might want to look into an older Yamaha Virago too... those shaft drives are usually extremely reliable, I see 82 and 83 Viragos all the time in the local paper for sale...
