A 2002 Kawasaki Vulcan 1500 Classic tips the scales at about 650
pounds.  Ideal for rolling down the superslab at 75-85 mph..

A 2007 Suzuki S40 tiptoes in at about 350 pounds, is $4400 MSRP, rules
in stoplight-stoplight city traffic, loves the backroads at 45-60 mph,
does the twisties better than any other cruiser.  A small bike, a bit
cramped if you're over 5'10".  Has no problem hauling two-up at any
legal speed.

  quite as good as Honda and Yamaha .
   Kaw' had same problems til they started
  making  big 4-cyl .
     Today ,
  BMW   ( 99% )
  Honda   (90% ) and
  Yamaha (90%) and
  Guzzi V (80%)
  Kaw      ( 80%) and
  Duc'    ( ~  60%)
  Suz'      ( ~ 50%)

are the only bikes that last ....
