Cruisers aren’t exactly my cup of tea. I find myself gravitating to sportier bikes, particularly sportbikes and naked bikes. But today’s crop of metric cruisers is getting pretty cool, at least for me. On the small-displacement side of things, we have interesting new players like the Kawasaki Eliminator and CFMoto CLC.
Meanwhile, on the big-displacement side of the story, bikes like the Rebel 1100 have certainly changed the game, proving that metric cruisers don’t necessarily have to be imitations of American iron.
