Motorcycle Safety & Driveability: Inline 4-cylinder cruisers, cylinder bikes, v twins


Question
Does anyone make an inline 4-cylinder cruiser anymore? It seems like everywhere I look, all I see are V Twins. The only 4-cylinder bikes left are also V versions: Honda's 750 Magna and Yamaha's V-MAX.

Answer
Hi Joe,
Interesting point you have there. You're right - somewhere in the 80s, the market for 4-cylinder inlines dwindled, and with it the manufacturers stopped their development efforts in this direction. There are lots of good 4-cyl sports and sports tourers in the market, but no cruisers. The only close resemblance is the Nighthawk 750 - which is a damn good bike, in my opnion! Well worth considering, if you're in the market!
That's it for now. Hope I've been of some help.
