Why Should You Buy a Harley-Davidson® Cruiser Motorcycle?
Cruiser motorcycles come equipped with power-packed engines, massive frames, and remarkable style. It’s no surprise that cruisers are the most popular class of bikes. What’s more, Harley-Davidson improves these bikes each and every year so that they’re always the best they can be. Even with all the advancements, the cruiser is still considered an American classic that makes an excellent bike for both new and experienced riders.
We’ve outlined just a few of the outstanding Harley-Davidson® cruiser motorcycle features that set them apart from the rest. Be sure to stop by Hideout Harley-Davidson in Joplin, MO, today to check out our selection of cruisers!
Style
Style is just one of the many elements that make the cruiser such a head-turner. On these bikes, riders sit with their feet forward, hands up, and back straight. Riders sit with their feet in front and hands up high so that they’re left either leaning back or sitting full upright rather than the uncomfortable position of being pitched forward. Cruisers pair well with unique finishes, like shiny chrome or muted color schemes. The style is accentuated by their pure power, which you’ll definitely hear in the roaring air-cooled engines.
Performance
Since their start, cruiser bikes were meant to push the boundaries on the limits of speed and acceleration. As the years have passed, Harley-Davidson has applied many advancements in technologies to make these motorcycles faster and faster. Their engines often exceed 1000 ccs. While you’re cruising past everyone else on the road with your rumbling engine, they’ll be eating your dust.
Shifting is not a huge issue in cruisers like it is in some other types of bikes and this is due to their large-displacement V-twin engines tuned for lower torque. These engines make cruisers easier to ride with the rider position lower to the road.
Customization
Right down to the very core, Harley® cruisers are all about individuality and that’s why customization is at the heart of the brand. After all, every ride seeks something different from their bike. You’ll have the option of tweaking your bike’s performance ability or outer appearance until you achieve the Harley cruiser bike of your dreams.
For example, if you ride often, opt for upgrades to comfort. An ergonomically designed backrest can be adjusted to your height, making commuting or long rides more enjoyable. If you ride at night often, invest in bright LED lighting. It’ll be easier for other motorists to see you and for you to read road signs. If you want to boost the fun of your rides, get an audio system installed so you can enjoy your favorite tunes.
