Try looking at Triumph cruisers or more to your budget Kawasaki cruisers. Don't go for anything under 800cc in our opinion if you are going two up. Triumph have some really good looking cruisers but may be out of your budget if you are looking for a really good one |

The older triumphs are no where near as good as what they are producing today. Guzzi's are an aquired taste. Much better than the virago for the two of you. Get out before this weather turns to s##t  |

I had a suzuki m 1800 in Australia. I'm not sure of the UK name it was given but in Oz if was the M109r suzuki boulevard. The 109 stood for 109 cubic inches (1800cc) I've always ridden sports bikes but was tempted towards this as it was given good revues saying it went and stopped like a sports bike. Looks awesome with that huge tyre and lashings of Crome. A good bike if you wanted a cheaper V rod looking cruser. There were 2 variants, one sports / muscle type of thing and the other was a bit too Harleyfied for my liking. |

Defiantly take a look at a Suzuki intruder 1500/1800. The 1500 turns better as it has a shorter wheelbase. But the 1800 is an 1800, man points.
I love guzzies as well but finding a dealer who can sell is easy one that can maintain it for you not so great. |
