Alright, I need help from my fellow Motorbikers out there. Which cruiser or Hybrid bike in your opinion is the best buy for long distance travel? Me and my wife might... Possibly... Be making plans for an inter-province road trip this spring .

I got my choices narrowed down to a Yamaha V Star:

Or a Suzuki Boulevard M50:

But if you guys have better options in mind, let me know I will consider them. Just keep the price tag under $10,000 please .

I think Neil Peart recommends a Beamer up in that country.

See, BMWs are good if you like a Bike with a more post modern edge to it interms of looks which is not a bad thing for a lot of people. I however like my cruisers with that chrome finish old school charm to them .

Not to mention that BMWs cost a small fortune interms of maintenance and repair... So I personally am not a huge fan of them.

- It has the retro looks.
- A powerful 1300 cc Engine! Just wow!
- Comfortable crusing type.
- $5,389 asking price!

Yep, this one's a winner .

So I still have a few days time before I can finalize the deal on that Honda. For the Price and the added Warrenty on the parts plus the Hypercharger on the bike makes this deal really amazing! However, I am still keeping my options open to see if there are other selections to consider.
