When it comes to road trips, a cruiser is an ideal machine to take you places. Unlike superbikes that are optimized for speed, cruisers are made for easy rideability and comfort, so that long distance travel never takes a toll on you. If you are looking for a used cruiser, damaged motorcycles for sale auctions are the right place to find an affordable deal. As far narrowing down your options is concerned, here are four cruisers to look for at online motorcycle auctions.
1. Triumph Rocket III
The Triumph Rocket III beats many Harleys out there for multiple reasons. The cruiser is faster, smoother, and handles better than a Harley. The carrying piston is as large as you would find in the Dodge Viper supercar and the Rocket III is heavier than the Honda V6 Valkyrie,which provides the motorcycle more stability. A 2.3-liter 148hp engine in the Rocket III satiates the need for power of most motorcycle enthusiasts.
2. Yamaha VMax
There are many people out there who wish for a cruiser that has the traits of a sport bike. If you are one of them, the Yamaha VMax is a perfect package. Carrying a massive 1679 cc engine that produces 200 hp, the motorcycle shoots from 0-37.28 mph in 2.7 seconds. Given the height of VMax, it is ideal for tall riders.
3. Kawasaki VN2000
If you love lots of chrome and black paint on a cruiser, The Kawasaki VN2000 is for you. Predecessor to the VN1700, this cruiser is built for the smoothest and most relaxing long rides - thanks to the soft suspension. No wonder why Kawasaki VN2000 is often more in demand at wrecked motorcycle auctions than many of the Harleys and Suzukis.
4. Suzuki M1800R
The Suzuki M1800R is a true badass in terms of looks and performance, in the world of cruisers. Weighing a little less than the VN1700 at 347 kg, the M1800R is equipped with a liquid cooled, DOHC V-twin 1783cc engine that delivers 127 hp at 6200 rpm and 118 lb ft of torque. The M1800R picks up well, better than many others in its class.
There is More!
If the above-listed motorcycles do not suffice your needs, there are other options such as the Harley-Davidson Street Glide, a package between a custom street bike and full-on tourer. Next is the Victory Magnum, offering a lower seating position than the Triumph Rocket III. All these bikes are although pricey, you might be lucky to find an affordable deal at wrecked motorcycle auctions. The good news is there are many salvage titled motorcycles that require just a few repairs before you can take them for a long ride. All that you need is the right research.
