Recommendations for a good cruiser/tourer

Someone earlier said BMW1600B, great bike with lots of power. Def something I like to get into but a budget of 20K isn't going to help since they are about 30k. Diavel or Diavel X aren't cheap but again if you get one make sure exhaust has already been done as a exhaust system for it is about 2500-3500 from what I have heard.

Good luck

Had no idea.
One of the instructors I taught with at RTI had one and it was a beauty. Also went on a ride with someone on this forum last year or the year before and it was a very quick bike. I couldn’t keep up:(
 
How about the Honda F6B? Basically a tarted up Goldwing without the top case and a short windscreen? You can get a good used one for below 15K.

Reliability, comfort power and a good dealer network.

It's the same platform as the FXSTC and the Night Train, slightly more rake, low bars, chopped fender, softail suspension (that rides like a Cadillac and not like a Sportster). Remember this guy is only doing the occasional jaunt to Ottawa etc. A small clip-on fairing can be installed and removed on the Breakout. Certainly the less rake, the easier the steering, but you eventually get used to the bike.

I saw a Triumph Rocket 3 on the road last week. Interesting, but a bit of a styling aberration. Starts at $26,500 and at 2.5L I can't imagine it isn't a fuel guzzler. Absolutely the ultimate power cruiser if you have to win at every stop light. It would be a specific taste that would love that thing.

If you need 2.5 liters you're doing it wrong.
 
OP, you said you have a cruiser and you're looking for a second cruiser. With so many different bikes and so little time it seems wrong to me to have two bikes that do the same thing. Of course only you know what you really want but to me a second bike should be second type or style.

BUT since you asked here's my 2 cents. If I was forced to own a cruiser an 883 Sporty with a larger tank would be it. Why buy a clone if you can have the original?

Why the 883? I would recommend the 1200 to anyone. Physically its the same size but is much happier at highway speeds due to pully size.

I had one of these reserved in BC. When I got to Eagle Rider the bike looked very intimidatingly large compared to the Street Glide next to it. I had my reservation changed to the street glide.

Unfortunately I’ll have to let go of the VStar mainly due to space issues. But you have a point about different styling
