Cruiser-motorcycle travel
Cruiser or Cruiser (cruiser) - one of the types of motorcycles. Low seat, a vertical landing, with the often made by far-forward footpegs, an abundance of chrome, considerable weight - Cruiser is not intended for very fast riding or driving on rough terrain, it usually does not have an impressive stock of horsepower. But the engine has high torque at low revs and a menacing roar.
Cruiser - this style. Today's cruiser is a much "retro" - fenders, seats and much more like motorcycles the 50's and 60's. But do not be deceived by their appearance: the modern engines, disc brakes, and other advances in technology make the cruisers only superficially resemble motorcycles half a century ago.
Cruisers are often difficult to distinguish from motorcycle chopper style, though their paths diverged long ago and got a great Cruiser fuel tank, large wings, extra lights, a low and comfortable driving and a host of other accessories, which is not on the classic chopper. Also the length of the cruiser and the slope of the front wheel fork is much smaller than that of the chopper, for which the fork length is one of the most distinctive features. Nevertheless, affinity of both styles is evident and the confusion of terms to some extent justified. An additional term is the custom (tailor to order): Owners of cruisers and choppers are widely used by all sorts of additions to personalize his iron favorites.
History as a separate class cruiser launched in 80 of the 20 th century with the motorcycle company Harley-Davidson, most of which are models of cruisers.
