    Yea, what a joke, Cycle World thinks if it has a top trunk it's a 'tourer' and if ya take the top trunk off it is a 'heavy cruiser'.
    Triumph Rocket Roadster, Suzuki 109, VTX1800, V-Rod, Kawasaki Vulcan 2000 those are the types of scoots I think of when the words "Heavy Cruiser" are thrown around.

    the guy who invented the second one... he was the genius!

    If i was to add a second bike to my garage, i think it would be a FJ09. Lots of nice things said about it and more than enough power for me.

    2016 Triumph Bonneville T120 Black is my second bike. It replaced my 2011 T100. Bonneville's are great bikes and Triumph greatly improved the T120 over the T100. Light and agile. Great for around town and the back roads.

    I have a DR650 for a second bike. Love it!

    But I do miss a V-Twin... been riding them for so long... hard to forget about them.

    I would like to get a chopper some day....

    I had a Suzuki 650 Vstrom as a second to my full wing. We got the F6 and I sold the Vstrom to my son and took the wife's 14 CTX700 for a commuter.

    I got a good chuckle from the "Heavy Cruiser" moniker. Maybe I'll paint my bike with a ship camo scheme and give it a Pensacola class heavy cruiser name.

    Seriously though, have been thinking about the Africa Twin myself. I miss offroading, and a versatility bike like this, I could see towing behind the B to a favorite offroad locale.
