Go sit on a meteor 350, then take a ride on the continental 650 Draw your own conclusions.

Cruisers will have much lower peg clearances. So tight corners at moderate speed will scrape. But those peg feelers are replaceable.

Some cruisers with low exhaust will also scrape.

That's a surprising price. Come in under 20k?

Here is another one. 400cc water-cooled v twin. 24k rmb.

Or this



Or this. Benelli 752. Never understood why this isn't more popular. About same price with Vulcan, sounds many times more garang. Better brakes, handling and power.

Traditional cruisers are quite limiting. Forward foot pegs never worked for me ...too much weight on my bum..and coupled with short suspension travel, makes for an uncomfortable ride on anything but the smoothest of roads.

Yes, not your traditional cruiser. But a "power cruiser". Understandably a very niche market with the Diavel being the progenitor.

Well like I said, I never quite warmed up to the foot forward riding position.

The CF CLC450 should be about the same price, maybe even cheaper when mforce eventually give out rebates to clear stock.

But at this range, I would stick to the slightly more expensive vulcan. At least that one the reliability has been well tested over the years.
