The Jack Daniel’s Limited Edition Indian Springfield Dark Horse: indianmotorcycle.com/en-us/jack-daniels-2019-springfield-dark-horse
A collaboration between a spirit producer and a motorcycle manufacturer seems odd, but limited edition Indian bikes with Jack Daniels badges usually sell out in minutes. The base vehicle for the team up this time is a Springfield Dark Horse bagger.

Yamaha Star Venture: yamahamotorsports.com/transcontinental-touring/models/star-venture
This giant transcontinental tourer might be an overkill for the cruiser definition, but lets go back in time before the categories have become so numerous and call it a full dresser cruiser. Skipping the 2019 model year, Yamaha’s flagship returns to the lineup virtually unchanged.
Indian Scout 100th Anniversary and Bobber Twenty: indianmotorcycle.media/indian-motorcycle-honours-scouts-100-year-legacy-in-2020-with-scout-bobber-twenty-limited-edition-scout-100th-anniversary-models-132917

the engine was a rubber mount now you will on twin balancers- invest in the warranty!
really Yamaha – 434kgs ???? how about making motorcycles that don't weigh almost the same as a car
Indian 100th anniversary ???????- What a JOKE
You guys never mention the Kawasaki Vulcan 900 Classic for 2020. A truly beautiful and economical medium cruiser.
I had to stop 2 minutes in, the voice was setting my teeth on edge and driving me nuts.
Yamaha star venture actually looks all day comfortable. Alot more than the others. I'm surprized honda hasn't competed with there goldwing
Wow! For the price and overall performance, I'm very surprised you fell to mention the all impressive 2020 Deez its their 40th year anniversary model, besides no Dezz great video.
Did he describe the second Curtiss as "an awkward pecker shape?"
WE FOUND THE BENELLI IS BETTER SUITED FOR US, WE ARE MEDIUM BUILT AND WE LOOK FOR MIDDLE WEIGHT BIKES… WHY BUY SOMETHING YOU CAN'T PICKUP, SHOULD YOU HAPPEN TO DROP… BENELLI IS AWESOME ENOUGH FOR US…
PRINCE MICHAEL GIOVANNI…
Rocke GT looks great
Honda goldwing
Honda sabotase
I have 950,000 miles on 2 wheels, in 25 countries. I've been buying bikes that could do just that since bikes had starters '72 or so, including a brand new '85 VMax. The Venture Royale? I remember that. It was a V-max with bags, somewhere around 8 grand. Now they're asking $25,000 without batting an eye. Gasp Choke. What happened? Is money worth nothing any more? How do people even walk IN to any dealers? Holy shit
What did you say?
I love robots.
Shame victory are no longer in production, nothing out there still. But I'll still go to the show's this winter to kill the boredom.
Too loose with cruiser definition.
Bmw r18 i will waiting . The best . Dont buy anything else . Until the r18 available in dealer ?
I really like the Yamaha Star Venture. The Indian Scout looks like it outperforms the Harley of a similar size. The FXDR 114 looks too weird for me and seems to check no boxes as far as the fastest, most powerful, best in the corners, etc… I really like the 116 Cu IN Thunder Stroke. I can’t wait to test drive one.
37K for a 2 wheeler Bwahahahahahahaha Flippin Morons !
I don’t like any of those.
One of the best beats.
Am I listening to a fricking robot ? Forget it I'm out of here !
V – MAX!
Nice women's line got anything for men
We love cruiser bikes…
What language is the narrator speaking? The translator doesn't recognize it.
Is it me or does that Triumph look like a Chinese Ducati Xdiavel knock-off?
That curtis is gay af
My x wife was a Indian I just can't get past those Vietnam war type flashbacks. But they look cool.
Yamaha star venture holy shit!
That bmw r18 is badass though, those ought to sell well.
I've had several motorcycle brands and am on my 1st Harley Davidson and I think I'll stay with hd, their dealer network is 2nd to none. Their new lineup is insane
Those rockets are badass
Mate looking forward to all cruisers but that computer generated voice is more annoying than flies on a hot day. Use your own voice instead of that annoying dribble and you would probably get more subscriptions.
1/ Triumph Rocket 3
2/BMW R 18
3/ Curtis Zeus
4/ Harley 14
Still riding my 70's ironhead sportster! The people that buy the new bikes always take time to tell me how cool mine looks so I'll just stick with the old dog until it breaks!!!
HARLEY LOOKS SHITTY IN COMPARISON WITH TRIUMPH
pronunciation
Your voice is not conducive to delivering these videos. You have a very hard to understand accent and you need to give somebody else the job so we can understand what you're trying to say.
I actually like that BMW.
Yamaha star venture…????
If I had money and muscle power, It’d be Rocket 3 without any ambiguity (even though I’m not a fan of the dual Head lamps) !!
cant watch it due to the annoying talking robot
On he last bike where are you supposed to put your feet? Plus it's butt ugly
"Hey baby, lemme take ya for a ride on my new $36, 000 Indian Springfield Dark dingy dirty Dark Horsie…whoops! Sorry there ain't no passenger seat!

VMAX>
Thanks for the video. Awesome. I would like to see motorcycles that don't cost as much as a new car.
Man, you forgot the All Mighty Honda Gold Wing 1800 . . .
R 18 BMW
