What make/models of motorcycles (metric cruiser) were mass produced, from the 1980s to 2000?
I ask because I wanted to restore, create in the smallest part up, if necessary bin.Ich wei? not be born care, but want something that mass was produced, or at least a model that is not too rare, so if I need additional keeping parts bicycle must find m?, then there is no unm? priority task, and so do all my work in vain.

honda magnas are very common
The real popular 4 cyl cruisers were the Magna from honda and the V Max from yamaha. The popular v-twin's were honda's Shadow, yamaha's Virago, suzuki's Intruder, and kawasaki's Vulcan. Parts for and even parts bikes for these models are plentiful and I believe the only model that is still not currently being made is the virago, which yamaha abandoned in the early 2000's.
the virago would be my choice, no longer being made but a very good bike lots of them still around. stone cold reliable and easy to work on. the virago bottom end is still being used on their new cruiser. go with one made after 86 thats when they fixed the starter problem.
honda, I'd stay away from the virago too many issues{back then}.
