The cruisers listed are good bikes, I have ridden most of them including the Vmax...You asked about cruisers only, so I am assuming you want this style of ride. The V-star is a good bike, so is the Intruder, never been on a v-max. I suggest you go to some dealers, find out what fits you and what you like best, then find a good used one for a reasonable price. You should be able to find some nice rides for what you have budgeted, but be sure and inspect them very well. If you find a bike with an owner who has kept good records, that will be a good bet. Stay on the board, you will like it here, and welcome!
yea thats a great point. I found a z1000 I liked but the tanks is so small, I'd fill up every morning. Guys were saying 140-150 miles a tank. I cant stand to even look at cruisers, but am just wondering if one makes since. What about a zrx1200? Holds 5.3 gallons. Can pick up a nice clean one for around under 4K. One thing is, it will be over 110 degreese riding home so some sort of wind protection would be nice. Kaw Concours is so ugly. My last couple of bikes have been, 3 busa's, zx12, zx9 and an Aprilia Mille. I am used to fun bikes.

V Star is probably the best choice from the ones you listed.
The Vmax IS a really nice bile but has small fuel capacity, which will only hurt you in a daily comuter..
Just my two cents..
