SAFER Street Motorcycle - Supersport or Cruiser?

This video is so wrong.. i ride zx10r, i also have FZ1, and i've been ridding my cousin BMW R1200RT.. On supersport i can't handle it man, no matter how smart u are, sound, position, feeling like u are on a rocket makes u wanna hit the throttle, meanwhile on my cousins bmw i dont give a fuck about speed, lanesplitting or anything,, i just sit in traffic, listening to radio, enjoying the sit.. so even tho id always go for supersport, my opinion is that its at least 2 times more dangerous..

@Cyclecruza could you do a video about which bike gets the most ladies? Lol if not could you reply with a short answer under my comment? Thanks for the great vids btw.

Good stuff!

just like you said that you have to control your speed on a sport bike and that its the riders problem not the bikes problem the same goes for staying focused on a cruiser, besides whats the point of riding if your not comfortable? the whole reason that most people ride is because its fun and i just cant have fun if im on an uncomfortable bike (im also 320 lbs. and that really takes a toll on me if im uncomfortable) cruisers just work better for me, but i think sport bikes look better and they will always have a special place in my heart

loved this video! especially when you get crazy lol

Well i don't agree. First, you can be alert and comfy, as it's a state of mind. Sure, if you are likely to fall asleep when riding comfy, then a cruiser is not for you. Second, a lot depends on the terrain. Here in Devon, England i simply don't feel safe riding in a lean-on position on a steep downhill having my ass almost above my head in the first place, then comes an emergency, and i'm upside-down in no time...

lost me with this vid.

MAN YOU HAD ME GEEKING....THE GNATS HAHAHA....LOVE YOUR CHANNEL

Hey Mr. Cruza nice vid my man. A little off topic but let me say this...and keep in mind I'm NOT a Harley hater, I think they are beautiful, but that's about it. Ride a Honda or a Yamaha cruiser. I'm not trying to be a showoff, just giving real life example, my 82 Honda nighthawk cb750sc, hasn't been beat by a Harley off the like yet. FAST in the curves and besides being super comfortable, i truly have an extremely fun ride every day. Part of it is the driver makes the bike, at 33 i actually have 28 years experience on motorized two wheels, and i truly can appreciate the performance of those cruisers, just not Harleys, to be ho est I really think they sell the experience short, just try a nice honda/yamaha cruiser!! Trust me!

It depends on the nut behind the front wheel

bxxxxxxt it all to do with the rider, more speed is more danger, slow speeds gives more time to brake allso to see the road and danger, so as i said you talking out of your rearend.

Hey brother, which state is that? The streets look beautiful (yea I have a weird taste).

1000% correct just the handling and braking in general are better on sport bikes!! I've ridden both cruisers and sport bikes and the sport bikes are better balanced not to mention yo feel like your part of the bike as opposed to riding on the bike! Love cruisers !!! But sport bikes are superior ! When it come to the topic at hand .

He just said that super sports are safer, but then he goes on to say, "IT'S TELLING YOU TO PULL THE THROTTLE!!!!" Yeeeeah, sounds safe lol

your kinda saying you can't be alert while being comfortable and that your more alert when your in sort of an awkward position ?

Sport = ready-to-pounce, cat.
Cruiser = ready-to-nap, sloth.
Any questions..?

Love your videos man. I don't necessarily agree with your statements about which bikes are safer, but you do have some valid points. Motorcycles aren't "safe" by any means. It's the rider that makes them "safer." A good rider is safe on any bike he swings a leg over. There are benefits and drawbacks to both styles of motorcycle though. Sport bikes are definitely lighter, while cruisers are definitely heavier. But this is a double edged sword for both. Sport bikes are more maneuverable and agile, but they can be blown around by wind blasts from pickup trucks and semis. Cruisers aren't gonna be blown off the road by a passing semi, but splitting lanes is definitely a tricky business. I think it boils down to preference. If you like being tempted to open that throttle wide and take the f*** off, you'd be better off on a sport bike - and that's not a problem if you know what you're doing. If you like stability, style and a relative lack of temptation, cruisers are a great choice. Of course, there are exceptions to every rule. I've seen a lot of sport bike riders who are about as reckless as they come. Couple that with a 1000 cc engine, and you have a recipe for death. On the other side of the coin, some of my cruiser friends refuse to wear helmets because the law doesn't "require" it in the state they live in. That's also a good way to ruin your day (or your life). Again, safety on two wheels is dependent on one thing more than any other factor: the rider. If the rider is inexperienced, careless, reckless or any combination of the three - they are simply at far greater risk than a biker who is none of those things. Regardless of the type of bike.

Your videos are THE BEST

im sorry no disrespect but youve been getting more obnoxious every time. at first loved your vids being im a new biker but now I see them and think ego alert 101. I guess it's the way you said cbr600rr twice.

I've been on a sportster 1200, yamaha r6, suzuki katana, and a triumph america. have to say... cruisers are much better. a sport bike is more of a weekend of fun bike.
