American Custom cruisers remain a popular segment of Europe’s diverse
motorcycle market, and appeal to many riders with their easy-riding style and
performance, reasonable purchase price and low running costs compared to other
motorcycle of the same comparable displacement. The highest power figures or and
the fastest acceleration are never the main points of interest with this segment, as looks
and feel have always been the cruiser’s prime attractions. Although Honda does have
some impressively powerful examples in its line-up, cruisers are really more about
sitting back and enjoying the easy pleasures and sensations of the open road… and
looking good while doing it.
