People get sucked in to the "cool" factor of cruisers. I didn't start riding until I was 33, and I thought having a big cruiser was the thing. If I had it to do all over again, I would probably just bought a sport tourer and been done with it. Instead, I bought a Victory, and although a great bike, I never felt that comfortable on it. Then I made a big mistake trading it for a Fatboy.
I had never rode a motorcycle with your feet under your butt and a more aggressive riding position. To me that is much more comfortable. I never realized how bad my posture gets with feet forward controls. I ride a friend's Electra Glide sometimes and catch myself slumping.
