Default I am wanting to buy a new cruiser at least 1100cc....(only riders respond please)?

I am looking at the Yamaha Roadstar warrior, or just the 1100 Yamaha. My friends are encouraging the 1300 VTX Honda, and I am considering a Harley Road King. The big question is the final drive, belt or shaft? Anyone who rides these want to give me reviews on handling, low end torque, horsepower, or maintenance. I am about 5'7 and I weigh 120lb. so weight is an issue. Thank you so much for your time!

All are good looking bikes with lots of power, and you would be happy with most. I have always been fond of shaft drive, If if goes out it may cost more to fix but it will be a long time before that happens. Look at several sizes above what you are talking about, and test them, I have and 1800 and at first I was worried about the weight, but now I am so glad I went big, I like the power and handiling. Go try some heavier bikes so you know for sure.
