Now’s the best time to check out these cruisers, as the market has never been so flush with options. Right from vibrant modern bobbers inspired by Indian hippie culture to stealthy blacked-out bobbers, chrome-dipped big twins, and even exotic Italian power cruisers, there’s something for everyone today. So, whatever your taste is, here are ten cruisers that redefine style and comfort.

To give you the most up-to-date and accurate information possible, the data used to compile this article was sourced from each manufacturer’s website, such as BMW, Indian Motorcycles, and other authoritative sources.

Royal Enfield Goan Classic 350

Starting Price: $5,299

The Royal Enfield Goan Classic 350 brings one of the best designs we’ve seen in recent years, inspired by the laid-back culture for which its namesake, Goa, is known. It looks especially stunning in the vibrant Trip Teal color option, which features a teal/orange paint scheme with a mandala motif and thin pinstripes on the tank, paired with orange wheels and white-walled tires, giving it a proper premium custom look.

The bobber style, with ape-style handlebars, gives the Goan Classic 350 an upright riding position that’s perfect for weekend cruising around town or on backroads. The J-Series only makes it better with its smooth, humble character and a soothing exhaust note. This is the perfect cruiser to get if you prioritize style and comfort over outright performance.

Benda Napoleon Bob 500

Starting Price: $6,399

If you want a beginner-level bobber with decent performance to keep up with highway traffic, consider the Napoleon Bob 500. It’s based on the Chinchilla 500 cruiser but features a black and dark gold theme, along with a floating solo seat, Flying Wing handlebars, and front suspension shrouds that look like girder forks. Even the V-twin engine takes design cues from Harley’s Revolution Max engine.

Like the Goan Classic 350, the bobber-esque design of the Napoleon Bob 500 provides comfortable ergonomics for city cruising and commuting, although the pegs are more forward-set in this model. The 476cc engine produces sufficient power and features a sixth gear to accommodate longer rides. It’s a terrific beginner bike with exotic styling that’s hard to ignore.

Royal Enfield Super Meteor 650 Celestial

Starting Price: $7,499

The Super Meteor 650 landed in the middleweight segment like a meteor, setting a new benchmark for what a middleweight cruiser should be. It offers an exceptional riding experience, thanks to its lovely parallel-twin engine that’s easy-going and relaxed across the rev range and even has a soundtrack to match. Even the handling is neutral and predictable.

In its Celestial trim, the Super Meteor pairs its excellent ride quality with a charming design that draws inspiration from classic American cruisers. As a result, it’s low-slung, long, and gets a touring seat, windscreen, and dual-tone livery. It’s a stunning, mature design that makes the bike look more premium and larger than it actually is, creating a proper big-bike feel in a compact package.

Performance Specs

BMW R 18 Classic

Starting Price: $18,395

Where taking design cues from American cruisers is the norm, BMW stands out by reinterpreting classic German cruisers with the aptly named BMW R 18 Classic. This cruiser boasts a purist design with an imposing stance, a teardrop fuel tank, an open universal shaft drive, and large fenders. And with Option 719, it looks even better, thanks to 1930’s Streamliner-inspired covers, dual-tone paint, and Icon Wheels.

Adding to its sophistication and style is comfort, thanks to the well-cushioned seat, large saddlebags, a windscreen, and easy-going ergonomics. Even the big boxer engine is designed to dump its torque right from the get-go, making for a relaxing cruising experience, whether you’re out on a weekend cruise or a cross-country road trip.

Performance Specs

Harley-Davidson Low Rider S

Starting Price: $19,999

No other motorcycle on the list defines minimalism better than the Low Rider S. Influenced by West Coast club motorcycles, this custom-style Harley-Davidson features tall handlebars, a headlight cowl, chopped fenders, and vibrant color options. The result is a low-slung Softail cruiser that turns heads without screaming for attention.

The uncluttered style may make you think it’s not comfortable, but you’d be wrong. The deep solo seat, tall bars, and mid-set pegs provide an engaging yet relaxed riding position, ideal for weekend cruisers and a run up a mountain road. The Milwaukee-Eight 117 High Output V-twin is designed for versatile power delivery, with plenty of low-end torque for cruising on the highway.

Performance Specs

Indian Super Chief Dark Horse

Starting Price: $21,999

Inspired by old-school bobbers, the Super Chief Dark Horse also adopts a more minimalist approach, adding a healthy dose of blacked-out treatment that is evident everywhere, from the headlight nacelle to the bobbed fenders. The Indian Motorcycle script badging on the tank adds the much-needed contrast. Essentially, the Super Chief Dark Horse is the most menacing interpretation of the Indian Chief platform.

As a Dark Horse model, the motorcycle also features the mighty Thunderstroke 116 V-twin engine, which is tuned for low-end torque and highway cruising comfort. Then there are the touring-friendly features, such as floorboards, traditional handlebars, a quick-detach windshield, and a touring seat. They add to the bike’s comfort.

Performance Specs

Harley-Davidson Heritage Classic

Starting Price: $22,999

The Heritage Classic is the most touring-ready Softail model, offering nearly bagger-level comfort for the price of a big-twin cruiser. It features a large windshield, soft saddlebags, wide cushioned seats, floorboards, and an optional backrest, making it ideal for two-up comfort for long tours. Even the powerful M8 117 engine produces most of its torque at around 2,500 RPM, which is perfect for highway cruising.

Comfort isn’t what makes the Heritage Classic special; it’s the old-school design, steeped in Harley-Davidson’s heritage, featuring classic fenders, a rich chrome garnish, and classy vintage-inspired touches here and there. This is the perfect motorcycle for those who are into vintage cruisers but can’t compromise on modern features and comfort.

Performance Specs

Indian Springfield

Starting Price: $22,999

Like the Heritage Classic, the Indian Springfield reaches into the history of Indian Motorcycles to pull out some stunning design cues. These include massive teardrop fenders, chunky exhaust, beautifully designed saddlebags, and a massive V-twin engine dipped in chrome. The Springfield is essentially a two-wheeled land yacht that looks like it’s just ridden off the museum floor.

Built on a touring platform, the Springfield features chunky saddles, a massive touring windscreen, and a feet-forward riding position, making it one of the most comfortable motorcycles on the list. The Thunderstroke 111 V-twin is rich in torque and features Rear Cylinder Deactivation, which further enhances the bike’s comfort under light loads.

Performance Specs

Harley-Davidson Fat Boy Gray Ghost

Starting Price: $25,399

Excess is never cool, especially when it’s dipped in chrome, but Harley has somehow managed to make a dazzling mirror-finished Fat Boy that proves excess can still be tasteful. It’s finished in mirror-like physical vapor deposition (PVD) chrome, complemented with yellow accents, a leather tank strap, and a retro 3D fuel tank medallion inspired by the original Fat Boy. It commands attention without being gaudy.

Underneath the dazzling paint sits the Milwaukee-Eight 117 Custom engine, tuned for more torque and smoother acceleration than the standard M8 117 mill. It also gets a wide saddle, roomy ergonomics, and Fat Boy’s heft, which translates to a planted, lounge-chair riding experience. The only downside: the burden of maintaining the bike’s sheen may be heavier than the bike itself.

Performance Specs

Ducati XDiavel V4

Starting Price: $28,995

The XDiavel V4 is Ducati’s response to low-slung, rumbling American cruisers, and it stands as a reinterpretation of what a cruiser can be. With its low-slung stance, sweeping flyline, and muscular proportions, it nails the cruiser silhouette while adding a dash of exotic Italian flair. The result is an exotic, premium motorcycle that looks unlike anything on the market.

The performance is equally ground-breaking. The V4 Granturismo engine delivers superbike levels of performance, complemented by the aluminum monocoque frame and adjustable suspension, which provide agile handling. The bike’s relaxed ergonomics, forward-set pegs, and plush saddle ensure you stay comfortable while riding with sports bikes. It’s easily one of the most visually striking cruisers on the market today that doesn’t compromise on comfort or performance.
