Cruiser

Harley’s best-selling entry-level bikes have been improved all round, gaining stronger engines, some performance and user/dealer-friendliness without losing their Harley-ness

Welcome to the slightly different world of the great big cruiser with Yamaha's latest (and larger) incarnation of its 1600 Wild Star. Big and shiny it certainly is, but is it any good?

Shippey lives the dream and spends some time with the H-D V-Rod

While it's hard to justify this much money for what is a reasonably basic tourer, it is a good blend of Harley cool and tourability

A lovely 'little' cruiser, so long as you don't mind working the engine a little more than you might expect from this type of bike

The kind of motorcycle that makes you want to become a desperado and ride off into the sunset in search off cheap Mexican beer and women

Taken with tongue firmly in cheek, the Shadow could be a fun way into the whole cruiser thang

Considerably more expensive than the Marauder, the Intruder remains the better machine that may just serve you beyond passing your test

A learner legal machine with more than a nod to cruiser styling, the Marauder is a good choice for the money.

An excellent choice for a full-on tourer that still has the Harley street cred

Cult bike. Massive power kicks in from 6,000 revs. Hang on! Does not like bends

Bargain custom crusier may not be up there with a Harley but good value for money
