These bikes are strong examples, though it is by no means an exhaustive list.
Tongue-in-cheek, we refer to metric bikes going for that American cruiser style as “Charlie-Davidsons,” specifically the machines from Asia, but the umbrella is a large one, so the Europeans and Brits end up thrown into the mix.
It has a custom culture all its own, and sometimes serves as the catalyst for a cultural shift to the American-biker lifestyle, whether in a club or not. There's only one acceptable engine, a great big V-twin in most cases, and a smaller V-twin in the rest. The rider is generally in a comfortable, upright position with hands just below the level of the shoulders for good leverage and feet either in a mid-mount or forward-mount position. American-style cruisers tend to be low-slung with a long wheelbase.
