Cruiser vs Touring: Which One is Right for You?

If you are looking to find out the differences between a classic cruiser and touring motorcycle, you're in luck! While each of these bikes offers a unique riding experience, it can be tough to find out which one will suit you best. That's why we have compiled the latest information on both of these bikes to help our customers make a decision on what will fit their needs more effectively. Stop by Bartels’ Harley-Davidson® in Marina Del Rey, serving Malibu and Santa Monica, CA to find out more about what sets these two motorcycles classes apart!

What Sets A Cruiser Bike Apart? 

A cruiser motorcycle is considered the best "all-purpose" ride on the market today. Whether you are planning to ride through the city or take more leisurely rides along the highway, these bikes are perfectly suited for the task! With easy handling, refined braking systems, and cornering abilities, these bikes are made to maneuver across any urban terrain. 

Why Sets A Touring Bike Apart?

Touring motorcycles are perfect for taking on long-distance travel. If you are expecting to go on long motorcycle journeys for hours at a time, a touring motorcycle will be the best way to keep your body ready for the journey. You can also take smaller trips on a touring bike, of course, but they specialize in long-distance travel. If you are looking for more storage space, comfort features, or an ergonomic riding position, our touring motorcycles will have you covered!
