What is the difference between a cruiser bike and a commuter bike?

The main difference between cruiser and commuter bikes is the riding position. In cruisers, riders are slightly leaned back, the legs are placed in a forward position and the handlebars are wider making it extremely easy to reach. However, in case of commuters, the legs are placed under the body. The riding position isn’t as comfortable as cruisers.

Very good and the styling and road presence are awesome. The offroad is also good. I rode mostly in Dheli and NCR. I rode last week from Delhi to Jaipur. My next plan will go from Delhi to Jammu and Kashmir. Value for money.

Triumph Bonneville T120
Quintessential Modern Classic!
1 year ago
Rohit
The quintessential modern classic. Low profile but extremely potent. The bike you want if you're retro with a modern soul! This is not a sports bike, so don't expect it works like one. Give it the respect it deserves and it will not disappoint you. With the understated, classy, great exhaust note, superb low-end torque, and a slick gearbox, this bike will keep you well ahead of all the copycats, wannabes, and the immature. It is simple, just the way we like our motorcycles!

Triumph Bonneville Bobber
A machine with a style statement
43 weeks ago
Ashish
Not a general concept bike, this is kind of style statement happy to own one has its own set of issues and limitation like all bikes but it do gives that adrenaline rush in signal to signal push. Just me and the bike that's all. Not for touring or offroading but city and short highway burst anytime of the day, apparently gives a good mileage just highway 25-24 km/ltr and city 17-18 and bumper to bumper 14 on worst case case scenario
