Cruiser

A cruiser is a motorcycle with a relaxed, feet-forward riding position and an engine tuned for low-rpm pull.

What is a cruiser? A cruiser is a motorcycle built around a relaxed riding position — feet forward, hands up, low seat height — with an engine tuned to pull from low revs rather than chase peak power. The shape suits steady miles, town riding, and easy stops. Most rider-friendly bars, diners, and bike nights are built around cruiser traffic, which is why the parking questions here (space to park, room to back out) matter more than they would for a lighter bike.
