Our dealership is located in St. Charles, Missouri, and we also proudly serve those in St. Louis and St. Peters.

1. Consider Your Riding Level

Since cruisers are general-purpose models, both new and experienced riders gravitate towards them. Your skill level will dictate the cruisers you consider.

New riders will want to spend their time perfecting the basics, not wrangling a complicated motorcycle. If you are a beginner, focus on smaller and lighter models that are easier to control.

More advanced riders will want a cruiser that meets their experience level. No one wants to be held back by their motorcycle, after all! Be realistic about how much size and power you can handle, then shop accordingly.

2. Consider Customization Options

Cruisers are the most commonly customized motorcycle type. Their frame lends itself well to additions and changes, making it easy to tailor your motorcycle to your lifestyle.

Common customization options include:

• boosting the comfort of the seating arrangement, making longer rides more comfortable
• changing up the aesthetic with a custom paint job
• adding accessories to improve the fuel efficiency, saving riders money

3. Consider Your Budget

Think about how much you want to spend. The longer you want the cruiser to last, the more you will want to invest. If you are getting a motorcycle to learn on, you can spend less since you'll need it for a shorter period of time. If this motorcycle needs to last you years, then you'll want to spend more to get a durable model.
