Stunning Appearance
One defining feature of a cruiser motorcycle is its style. You're bound to turn heads riding a Harley-Davidson cruiser! They adopt a unique riding position where the rider has feet forward, hands up, and spine erect. You'll showcase an enviable attitude as you cruise down the street.
A cruiser usually comes in chrome or a stripped-down paint scheme, which gives it a sleek appearance. The overall look of the motorcycle is modeled after motorcycles built in the hot rod era, which gives them a unique vintage feel. These may not be the most comfortable vehicle, but their unbeatable fashion is worth the sacrifice.
High Performance
Most Harley-Davidson motorcycles run off of large-displacement V-twin engines. These are tuned for low-end torque, which improves your riding experience. You won't have to shift as frequently to stay in control, which can make cruisers easier to drive. This makes them an appealing option for those new to the motorcycle world. But they offer plenty of power to appease veteran riders and thrill seekers. After all, they need to be powerful enough to keep up with the trucks and semis on the highway. A cruiser is equipped with quick acceleration. The moment that light hits green, you'll leave everyone behind eating your dust.
Easy Customization
Harley-Davidson motorcycles are designed for easy customization - and their cruiser line is no exception. In fact, the cruiser is the most modified type of motorcycle. It's partly due to their frame, which is bulky enough that additions aren't an eyesore and simple enough for easy additions. You can customize many aspects of your riding experience. Boost comfort with an ergonomically designed backrest. Boost performance with tweaks to air flow and fuel efficiency. Boost style with colored LED lights. You can really make your cruiser motorcycle your own with customizations!
Types of Cruiser Motorcycles
There are subdivisions within the broad category of “cruiser”. First, there are power cruisers. As their name implies, power is the focus here. They take all the standard performance features of a cruiser and boost them. They often boast improved ground clearance, better brakes, improved suspension systems, and modern features (like digital displays and LED headlights). They often adopt a neutral riding position for comfort.
Another common type is choppers. Mechanics or experience riders would "chop" their cruiser down to the bare basics in attempts to boost their style. You'll often see features such as raked-out forks, smaller fuel tanks, and high handlebars. These motorcycles won't be the best performing option out there, but they do offer unbeatable style!
