Comfortable to ride, cruisers can also make for good touring bikes with the addition of saddlebags, a windscreen, and maybe a backrest for the passenger.Ĭruisers can also be stripped down, bobbed, painted - a cruiser is what you make of it, really. ![]() Cruisers feature a low seat height, a torque-rich engine (typically a V-twin), a fat rear tire, lots of style, and, very often, a lot of chrome. If that’s your dream motorcycle type, you should be shopping for a cruiser. Many beginning riders picture themselves cruising city streets on a powerful, low-slung machine.
