Help! I've been looking for a good, low-mileage, 80 series and I can't find one. I'm starting to think maybe I should just give up and get a Tahoe. Please give me some good reasons why I should hold out for a cruiser. My use will be 80% daily driver, 10% dirtbike hauler and 10% light offroading.
The things drawing me to a Tahoe are: (i) more power, (ii) brand new (even though it's more expensive) and (iii) reasonably good for light offroad use, particularly with the locking rear diff (how true is this--and how extreme can you go in an unmodified/lightly modified Tahoe?).
The reasons I'd like an 80 series are: (i) tougher/better quality (but no warranty); (ii) better offroad; and (iii) generally cooler.
I'd appreciate any thoughts regarding either side of the equation. I know that this is a cruiser board and that Tahoes are generally reviled here. Feel free to slam me for even thinking of a Tahoe.
Also, if you think a newer (3-4 yrs old) 100 series (easier to find then an 80, but less tough?) is a good way to try to get the best of both worlds, please let me know why.
Thanks in advance for any thoughts.
