first of all ppl here buy cruiser bike and thren use it for daily use,,in extremely busy roads,, and use it as its commuter bike,, this in turn causes all sort of problems,, whareas a cruiser bike is not meant for such a use,,
i say if u use it properly for the task it is designed u will never regret,,their engine are rock solid,,many ppl used them for 5-6 years and sold that,,they primarily used thatr for cruising,, their bikes were in proper shape,,and they had no engine issue,,
so if u want tpo buy a cruiser bike and will be using it for cruising it will satisfy u,,howevver if u start to use it for commuting and other use its body will be in bad shape,,
