New Ninja Cruiser at the AIMExpo. Big improvement over the old Vulcan 500.
Looks like the HD Street is forcing the Japanese bike makers to step their game up.

Great lines and really like the funky rear suspension.

I know that the engineering wouldn't stand scrutiny today, but I still like the style of the old Sportsters with the shock mounts towards the front of the swing arm. I presume this was to clear the old style cowboy saddlebags.

And don't forget the swaybacked lounging presence of the AMF era Night Train.
