Cruiser Motorcycle Buying Guide

Looking to travel in style on your new motorcycle? Then a cruiser is the perfect model for you! However, don’t just grab the first model you see off the showroom floor. Read our article below for tips on how to find the perfect cruiser motorcycle for your needs.

Size

In order to provide buyers with a stable ride on long trips and support the model’s impressive engine, cruisers are designed to be rather large motorcycles. Because of this, it’s incredibly important that you ensure your cruiser isn’t too large or too heavy for you to ride before you decide to ride it off the dealership lot. Be sure to sit down on the cruiser at some point and ensure that you can easily reach the handlebars, footpegs, and various controls on the model, as well as adjust the mirrors. You’ll also need to be sure that you can support the cruiser’s weight, as these models tend to be some of the heaviest. 

Features

Cruisers are popular among motorcycle enthusiasts, who often customize their models with various amenities or cosmetic features. As a result, some cruiser models may be very barebones while others will come with a variety of bells and whistles. To ensure your new model meets your expectations, we recommend writing up a short list of features you’d like your cruiser to include at purchase.
