Cheap brand new cruiser motorcycle 2K-3K?

Question

I was telling a guy I work with about a motorcycle ad I'd seen in a recent magazine. They look like a knock off Harley but I think they are built in S. America... maybe Korea. Brand new they are only about 2K. I think and they only have about 25 hp. Anybody know what they are called?

thats it thanks... not my cup of tea either but... good conversation... I can't believe they can make a profit off ogf them.

Answer 1

It's true. There are several "mini" Harley makers now, Vento (assembled in Texas), Hyosung, Q link. They run around 250 CC and are marketed as ladies bikes or youth beginner/starter motorcycles since they weight in at under 400lbs.
I have a Vento, it cost $2495 new and came with windshield & bags. It's not a hot rod but it's dependable for the morning commute. With gas heading for $4.00 it's very economical.

Answer 2

All these answers telling you to buy a Sportster...lmao. Even die hard Harley guys will tell you a Sportster is pretty much bottom feeding!!! I've had hard core HD riders tell me they'd buy a big metric before they'd be caught on a Sportster!!! Here's the real scoop...the best selling bike of ANY metric in 2005 was the Suzuki C50. It's the biggest bang for you buck you can get out there right now. Motorcycle Cruiser magazine has rated this bike tops in it's class since it came out in 2002. FYI the bike is physically bigger than most of Harley's bikes and is within 1/2 inch of being as big as Suzuki's biggest cruiser. It's 805cc's so if size matters look elsewhere. But speaking from an owner's viewpoint you can't beat the thing.

Answer 3

That sounds like a Vento V-Thunder.

At first I thought it was a toy. It's not.
I won't bias you with my impression, check out their website.
