What Is the Difference between Cruiser Bikes and Motorcycle Station Wagons?

It is understood that the cruiser motorcycle represents a free-spirited attitude. Therefore, it has many audiences all over the world.

One of the considerations in sports touring motorcycles is the proportion of the sports part and the travel part that the vehicle gives the motorcycle rider. For those who highly emphasize the sports driving part, the full-spoiler sports car can also be used as a station wagon, because this kind of car can get a higher sense of pleasure on the tortuous corners. But for most other people, it is better to emphasize comfort. Because it has a lot of comfortable and practical configurations such as heated motorcycle seat, cruise control, stereo sound, GPS navigation and so on.

Personally, the proportion of sports/cruising demand will change a lot, depending on whether you need to ride alone or need to carry people. If the motorcycle does not carry people, then a soft saddle bag is very suitable. It is comfortable enough to cruise at speeds above 160 kilometers on the highway, or run 800 kilometers in a day without feeling tired, and it is also fun in curves.

In essence, what people want is a combination of a café racer that is not so low and a cruiser that is not as big and heavy as a tank. In this way, the pain points of riding on the vast plains are minimized.

Differences between a Motorcycle Wagon and a Cruiser

1. Different functional configurations

The touring motorcycle will be specifically designed for the characteristics of long-distance travel in terms of power and configuration. Touring motorcycles are generally equipped with luxurious and complete facilities. They will provide large front windshield, motorcycle dust cover, three boxes, luxurious audio, comfortable cushions, cruise control, heated motorcycle grips and motorcycle solo seat.

Cruising vehicles are heavy-duty locomotives starting at 1000cc and weighing more than 300kg. The v-type twin-cylinder chrome-plated engine is shiny. Motorcycle with exhaust is mostly double-out or quadruple-out. The shape is retro and elegant.

There are two types of motorcycle models that pay more attention to long-distance driving. One is that there will be side trunks and windshields similar to touring motorcycles. The second is that there are also motorcycle models with no borders and no windshields that drive off the street. Large-displacement cruising vehicles prefer V-type twin-cylinder engines and powerful low-torque equipment. The strong sound and unique vibration are its characteristics.

2. Different relationships

Cruising motorcycles are relatively broad in concept. A luxury cruiser can also be called a station wagon.

Cruise cars include station wagons, but not all cruise cars can be called station wagons.

3. Different purpose

The touring motorcycle is designed for road trips. While keeping people in a comfortable posture at high speeds, it is equipped with various long-distance configurations, such as windshields, side boxes, heated handles, gel pads for motorcycle seats, heated seat cushions. While the high-performance multi-cylinder engine has strong power, it is also equipped with a two-wheeler shock absorber to effectively reduce vibration and improve comfort.

Cruising motorcycles actually represent a casual riding attitude. This can be done because the engine tends to output low-to-medium torque, allowing the vehicle and riders to be in a relaxed state in the wind. This state is particularly different in the motorcycle industry in that it emphasizes speed and complex advanced technology.
