Oh, noooo.....not ANOTHER green bike!!!!!
Just joking with ya, man! Mine's green, too. And I love that shade, too!
Good looking bike all around. You done good!
The riding position is more relaxed and upright because cruisers are more relaxed than crotch rockets. The crotch rocket configuration is for racing. Cruisers are for well, cruising. You can still have fun on the twisties though! Have fun and welcome to the forum.
