Perfect Performance

As kind as a cruiser motorcycle might be to a new rider, they don’t sacrifice any performance to do so. These are lean, powerful machines that are designed to tear up the highway or own a city’s streets with unmatched speed and control. They’re guaranteed to satisfy any adrenaline fix without sacrificing agility or maneuverability. The secret to that power is, naturally, an immense engine. Cruisers utilize large-displacement V-twin engines that typically reach 1,000 ccs, and with their lower placement, you don’t need to shift as much to utilize the bike’s full torque when turning or changing speeds. That makes these machines perfect for long stretches of straight, empty road like a highway. 

Types Of Cruisers

There are many shapes and sizes of cruiser, typically placed in two separate subcategories. The first is one you’re likely familiar with: a “chopped down” version of the typical cruiser that’s called, naturally, a chopper. These bikes are favored by many experienced riders and mechanics, who often remove the fenders entirely to complete the stripped-down look that gives choppers their name. Most choppers are built with a teardrop-shaped gas tank, a ranked front end, chrome additions, and ape-hanger handlebars. Some of these aesthetic choices make the bike slightly harder to control, including the extended front forks. For an experienced biker, though, the challenge is well worth it to enjoy the unmistakable chopper aesthetic. 

The other type of cruiser is the power cruiser. These mean machines are suped-up versions of the basic cruiser by every performance metric, designed to boost all aspects of your ride. Power cruisers enjoy improved braking, suspension, horsepower, and ground clearance. They even have a beefier style to them! These bikes also tend to come with more modern conveniences, including digital displays and LED headlights for maximum visibility.

We can talk these bikes up all day long, but at some point you just need to see them to believe them! To check out our selection of cruiser motorcycles, contact us at Bluegrass Harley-Davidson.
