Considering a trade for my warrior

[loudstarlife163]

Alright, so I've got a Warrior that's a blast to ride. Now, a buddy's throwing a Honda Shadow Phantom and an old Suzuki Savage into the mix, offering them up as a trade. I'm not super attached to my current bike. Should I stick with the Warrior, or jump on this trade deal? What do you folks think?

That's a fun trade offer! The Warrior's got serious muscle and handling, but if you're looking for a smoother cruiser vibe, the Shadow Phantom's a nice upgrade in comfort and style. Not entirely sure about the Savage though, but if both trade bikes are in good shape and fit your riding goals, it could be a win. Just make sure you're not trading down in value or performance unless it's what you want

Rode a Savage a few years ago and I can tell you it's entirely different that everything else I've ridden. The vibrations are there and quite noticeable. It's a cruiser, but not one of those that you'd be happy to do a cross-country adventure on. Also, highway riding is not the most pleasant experience due to the speeds and vibrations and noise and everything. Up to about 50 or 60 it's decent, but more than that and it become uncomfortable. As for the trade, honestly I have no idea what to say. Try both of his bikes, see how they are and decide if you think it's going to be an upgrade or downgrade for you.
