I am going to be purchasing one of these bikes in the next couple days. I am looking for opinions on which would be the better buy. They are both the same price, and in good condition. I honestly like the looks of the Suzuki a bit more, and it has some nice add ons. The Yamaha looks good as well, and the low miles are a plus. This will be for casual cruising with my wife. What do you think?

A friend of mine has a 98 Suzuki Intruder (but it's a 1500) and it originaly had problems with the back wheel locking up. The dealer fixed it and it's been fine since, but you might want to ask the owner about it. I've ridden the bike a couple of times and it's a nice solid ride, a little more vibration than im used to but over time i've gotten used to it.
