The image above shows the Yamaha V-Max which is a type of crusier.


Today, I will be introducing more about one of the types of motorcycles that is the crusiers.


Cruisers
These bikes are more commonly referred to as "American Bikes" due to the different style these motorcycles have. Their style came from people getting bored by the looks of their regular Harley's. They began creating choppers or custom bikes. They would make these machines look the way they do by taking out all the extra accessories that did not help the bike be lighter or go faster. All you ended up with was two wheels, a seat, frame, and a gas tank. These bikes began to symbolize the outlaw biker phenomenon. But by taking all of the extra accessories, this made some of the bikes very difficult or even impossible to maneuver.

These bikes continued to be custom works of arts until the early 1970's when manufacturers started producing factory choppers of their own. These bikes were not as popular with the public as a custom chopper since anyone could just go out and buy them. They rode allot better than homemade choppers but did not look the same. Not until Willie G Davidson introduced the Low Rider in 1977 did the public start to love factory produced choppers. This and the Wide Glide of 1980 can still be found in parts on choppers and cruisers of today.


I will be introducing about the sportbikes.
