Hi everyone, I am not new to motorcycles but I am new to cruisers, I wanted to make this short post to hear from you if you have any recommendations on cruisers intermediate/lower intermediate riders, if possible I also wanted to keep this under €15k for a new one, I think I'll be buying a used bike but if I din't manage to find one then I would buy it new.

I'd second checking out the Vulcan S. I have one and I absolutely love it, with the exception of the seat, but lots of people have replaced them with aftermarket Corbins or Cores and have had excellent results. I've had a Vulcan 750 and an sv650. I loved the cruiser ergonomics but didn't like the sluggish feeling engine after the zippy sv650, which is why I tried the Vulcan s. Plus they're generally available used for between 5k and 10k depending on location and seller. Plus they're still a newish model so the market doesn't seem to be flooded with poorly maintained, idiotically modded examples yet. But I'm sure that will change.
