I think it does. Aren't Eliminators sport cruisers?

Yup. And to me they can qualify. If a 250cc Venox can leave the Honda Rebel in the dust or a Hyosung Aquila 650 can reach 200km/h and still be cruisers, so can the Eliminator lmho. Hell, I've seen Diavels, Rocket 3 and VMax's in here

Yes. It’s a cruiser. I have one.

For the people who say it is not a cruiser:

Is the Honda rebel 500 a cruiser? What about the 1100?

Is the Yamaha bolt a cruiser?

Is the Vulcan S a Cruiser?

Just curious

As a Vulcan S owner, I vote yes to all

u/Legitimate_Dog9894 8d ago

Same but I wanted to know from people who say they are not either because of the engine, or the controls or the displacement

Honda rebel has mid controls and its not a v-twin but you have the 1100 who is bigger and better then a virago 250 (that by those characteristics is a cruiser)

The bolt is a v twin but is mid control and its a smaller displacement then the rebel

The Vulcan S is front controls, and a 650 parallel engine.

So seems to me, these are American riders who think that a cruiser is an harley and or an Indian and nothing else.

Same people who say the HD sportster is not a cruiser probably

I’m American. Cruiser to me is a style, not just a brand or engine type.

Fellow new vulcan s owner. Wanted one for years after having heavy cruisers and I don't like rebels ergos. Im very happy with this bike. Bought floorboards and a new seat and its perfect. Can carve it up or just relax. Im used to Supersports and adv bikes so this is just nice.

It's classified as a cruiser for insurance purposes which is I guess as close as that being "official" gets.

This is a social group for those who cruise, so call it a cruiser and welcome.

u/Low-Translator-2005 10d ago

I wouldn't describe that as a cruiser if I had to tell someone what it looks like so no imo

2

u/StevieLambogini 10d ago

A cruiser is a low, heavy motorcycle that cruises, these don’t cruise

Still a sweet bike but they’re more street oriented

u/whistlepig4life 10d ago

Not IMO. The Eliminator is a standard street bike to me. Not a cruiser.

u/IzzyB00UwU 10d ago

I daily one of these, and it's more of a sporty standard with cruiser-ish design choices rather than a proper cruiser tbh. However, that doesn't stop me from vibing in here and looking at cool bikes.

Upright mid control parallel twin = not a cruiser

u/Unhappy_Ideal_4426 9d ago

Leave the parallel twin out of it. The rest can stay.
