Consider Your Experience Level

Cruiser motorcycles are a great fit for all experience levels, offering easy handling for new riders and high power potential for advanced riders. Think about your experience level and what models will best suit where you are at. 

Beginners will want smaller, lighter models that are easy to control. They should avoid getting cruisers with the highest power potential since they lack the necessary skills to easily control all that power.

Experienced riders can seek out heavier models that offer improved stability, which is helpful when tackling harder routes. They can explore cruisers with high power and performance potential, which make it easy to dominate the open road.

Consider Customizations

Cruisers are the most commonly customized motorcycle. They are easy to tailor to your lifestyle and there are plenty of Harley-Davidson customization options to explore. You can upgrade your cruiser to be more comfortable, better performing, more stylish, and so on. Think about whether you want to alter your cruiser motorcycle and look for models that will be easiest to tweak.

Consider Your Budget

Cruiser motorcycles come at a range of prices. Think about how much you can realistically spend on your purchase. Setting a limit helps you accomplish two goals. First, you avoid falling in love with a model beyond your budget since you'll eliminate those options at the start of your search. Second, you avoid unnecessarily passing on features or models that you can afford.

One way to make your budget stretch farther is to consider used cruisers. Thanks to depreciation, these models will offer a much lower sticker price than their new counterparts. This can allow you to afford a higher end model than you would new.
