I'm looking for some online sites that have reviews of different touring and cruisers from most mfg's. Most mag's just talk about custom bikes or ones that are so high end that most riders couldn't consider them as a new bike.
I've read all the review I could find here was well as the year by year guides totalmotorcycle put together, I'm looking for other (riders) opinions that have ridden or tested many other bikes.

I used this a lot several years ago when we were shopping, and thought we were cruiser people (... found out we're not.

Harley Softail Deluxe
I own a 07 Softail Deluxe, I'm a 43 year old woman, started on a Nightster 1200 and quickly jumped into a deluxe after a month or more.
Incredible bike, we drive for hours up into the mountains. I put 2001 Springer saddle bags on it, because of their room and spend many over night trips. My husband loves the bike and he rides a 2008 Harley Street Glide, both bikes are smooth and comfortable. Street Glide was a bit top heavy for me at first, but after several rides on it I find the bike easy to handle and love the way it glides on turns, very much like the Softail deluxe.
I work at Harley and we sell alot of Road Kings, great all around bike.

I'll second jstark's recommendation. If you are open to a used bike you may wish to consider a Honda Valkyrie, available as a Standard, Tourer or Interstate model. Absolutely fantastic machine.jstark47 wrote:Here you go, five pages of links to reviews: http://www.motorcyclecruiser.com/roadtests/index.html

There is no such thing as a bad motorcycle.
