Cruiser Motorcycles

A cruiser motorcycle is commonly defined as a motorcycle that is intended for cruising along and enjoying the journey, rather than racing to the destination. A relaxed seating position with a low seat height and easily reached handlebars are key ergonomic and styling components when it comes to capturing that cruiser look. Iconic examples would be the Harley-Davidson Softail, Honda Rebel, or Yamaha V-Star 650.

Cruiser motorcycles find their roots in America, but just like standard motorcycles are now produced by manufacturers all across the globe. Ranging from Indian Motorcycle and Harley-Davidson in the US to companies like Honda, Kawasaki, Yamaha, and Suzuki in Japan and BMW, Triumph, Husqvarna, KTM, Moto Guzzi, and Ducati in Europe, cruisers and standards are wildly popular wherever you go. Known for their style and comfort, these bikes have a timeless vibe that resonates with audiences everywhere.

Cruiser motorcycles come in different shapes and sizes, ranging from large and powerful to lightweight and nimble. Some of the best cruiser motorcycles for beginners will have a smaller engine displacement, like the Honda Rebel 300 and 500, while more experienced riders may look to a more sporty power cruiser like the Ducati Diavel. Large touring motorcycles and even some bicycles with electric motors can be labeled a type of cruiser motorcycle, but really it’s all about the ride!
