Cruiser Motorcycle Type

Motorcycle Types


There are several types of motorcycle types or categories. They are: a standard, cruiser, dirt, sport, sport tourer, tour, and dual sport. Each motorcycle type is made with a purpose in mind. We'll go into a bit of a description of each motorcycle type to get you a better understanding what they are typically used for.

Cruiser Motorcycle Type:

The cruiser motorcycle type in our opinion has been defined by the Harley. A cruiser is typically mostly known for their styles and ability for customization. There are several types of cruisers but to give a few examples a Harley Sportster or a Honda Shadow or a Suzuki Intruder are good examples. A cruiser has typically a chassis that is very low and longer than all other motorcycle types out there. They are usually easier to handle and are great for beginner riders. A cruiser will in most cases, but not a requirement, have a V-Twin engine but can have an inline or a V-four sitting in them. Most manufactuers make some kind of a cruiser. Check out individual manufacturers to see what you like, they do have their own touches. Cruisers are very custimizable and you can accessorize your cruiser in many different ways.

We'll go into a bit of a description of each motorcycle type to get you a better understanding what they are typically used for.

Standard Motorcycle Type:

No two motorcycle types are the same or universal for all purposes. The closest to that will be the standard motorcycle type. This type of motorcycle is typically a street bike that will be able to perform most functions fairly well but not be great at one. Like the saying, jack of all trades but master of none. A standard motorcycle type will have a simple engine with very little body style, simplistic.

Standard motorcycle types are typically very reliable and versatile. Typically they are not very expensive or reasonable in cost. In addition standard motorcycle types are easy to maintain where manufacturers don't spend a ton of time and money on looks or high performance.

One thing to remember is that that a typical standard motorcycle can be easily converted to another type by accessorising it.

How to buy a motorcycle

Motorcycle Buying Information and How to buy a motorcycle guide.


Motorcycle buying can be a challange, read this before you make any decision.

Ask yourself these questions first:

There is a ton of materials out there on motorcycle buying, car bying, etc. Anything you can think about there is a guide out there.

But you must ask your self 2 key questions: how much can i afford to spend and how will i use this motorcycle, car, whatever?

These are key especially when looking for a motorcycle. When you look for a car you want to make sure you feel comfortable in it. Same thing goes for your motorcycle. Ask yourself how will the motorcycle i'm looking for fit me and will i be comfortable on it. Does it have comfort adjustments, some motorcycles do have the ability to adjust seat height and so on.

Next, what is the purpose and style of the motorcycle you're looking for?

Is this going to be your toy to be used every weekend? Will you be using it for commuting? Or, will you use it to go off road? Cross country riding? Do you know the color and style of the motorcycle you're looking for? Think about these questions as they will be important to your search for your perfect motorcycle. Obviously the difference in each use of the motorcycle will have a different outcome of what you choose as the style.

Now that you know what style or how you will use your motorcycle ask yourself these questions:

- Do you want a comfortable bike for distance cruising?
- Do you want a high performance motorcycle?
- Do you want specific motorcycle accessories?
- Do you want some kind of protection from the weather such as rain, heat, etc?
- Are there other requirements you are looking for that will satisfy your needs for your next motorcycle?

As you consider the questions above you might have to give up certain things when selecting one over the other.

Example: if you want comfort for long distance cruising you will not be able to use that bike for offroad, and you will probalby loose out on some top end performance. Same goes for other options. Think about it. Take this into consideration, todays motorcycles are in general all high in performance and not many people actually use the motorcycles to the top of their ability in terms of performance, so this might adjust your thinking about which style you actually select. In addition, except for some areas of the country you will not even have the freeway to actually max out your high performance motorcycle. I guess if you really want to risk your life to do so you would find a way / place to do it anyway.

A few other points:
- If you select a sport motorcycle you will not get the comfort you would like for long distance travel
- If you select a sport motorcycle you will get the high performance you might be looking for
- If you need / want (there is a difference) special look and feel or special performance you will most likely miss out on something else.

Bottom line is each motorcycle is designed for a purpose. Motorcycles are not 1 size fits all. Ask yourself the above questions, think about them, test ride several motorcycles and then select the one you think fits best your requirements.
