At Bert's Barracuda Harley-Davidson®, we’re committed to providing a wide range of bikes, including some amazing cruiser motorcycles. Read on to learn more about the features of these bikes.

Cool Factor

There’s an undeniable cool factor associated with cruisers. These bikes are designed to stand out from the crowd. While the models can vary in terms of size and performance, all of them have an edgy aesthetic that you won’t find elsewhere. If you can picture a motorcycle that you’d most likely see in old films from the 1930s and 1960s as the hero rides into town on a muscle bike, that’s what cruisers are all about. This signature vintage look is rounded out with several innovative features, including chrome or black accents, a low-slung seat, high-mounted handlebars, and more.

Unique Customization

As if cruiser motorcycles weren’t cool enough, you also have the option of customizing them to meet your unique tastes and preferences. Perhaps you’ve found the perfect model with the exception of a few minor details. Whether you’d like to improve certain performance aspects or you’d like to make some changes to the appearance, the options are endless. You can even adjust the bike to better fit your body type if that’s a concern.

Should You Buy One?

If you’re still on the fence about buying a cruiser motorcycle, there are a few ways to reach a final decision. Most people who own a cruiser motorcycle feel most comfortable using it to cruise down city streets and go for leisurely rides around town. It’s the perfect option for those who want to enjoy the sun and wind on their face with the sound of a roaring engine in the background. Cruiser motorcycles have many features geared toward easy handling and riding rather than high-speed performance or long-lasting endurance. If this sounds like the ideal riding experience, a cruiser could be the bike you’ve been looking for.
