For many years, a cruiser was typically defined as a motorcycle that prioritized aesthetics over utility, emphasizing relaxed ergonomics at the expense of performance. Paradoxically, these motorcycles evolved into models that often sacrificed true comfort while indulging in excessive chrome detailing. Over time, however, performance began to take a more prominent role.
Today’s cruisers boast unprecedented power levels, but that increased capability comes with trade-offs. Maneuvering these hefty bikes demands significant torque, which can be costly. For budget-conscious buyers aiming for a $10k limit, the used market is the way to go. By the early 2000s, muscle cruisers became popular, and many from that era are now available at reasonable prices.
To provide you with the most current and precise information, this article draws on various official manufacturer websites and other reputable sources, including brand-specific sites. Purchasing a used motorcycle inherently carries risks, so it’s vital to conduct thorough research and approach the process with care. The motorcycles on this list are assessed based on our established methodologies that focus on power.

Some of the fastest muscle cruisers on the used market are turning 10 this year
2015 Victory Vegas 8-Ball
While an older version can be acquired at an even lower cost, it’s worth noting that Victory wasn’t renowned for their reliability, making that route less advisable. By the time production of the Vegas 8-Ball ceased in 2015, most issues had been ironed out, and even now, you can find these bikes for as little as $3,000!
| Price Range | $3,000 – $5,000 |
| Engine Type | V-Twin, air-cooled |
| Displacement | 1731cc |
| Max Torque | 110 LB-FT |
| Transmission | 6-speed |
| Weight | 638 lbs (dry) |
2013 Moto Guzzi California 1400 Custom
Reviewers have highlighted that the California 1400 Custom excels in handling. Although its torque output may not outshine American counterparts, it does offer superior performance on top, making it an incredible value for under $5k—or even $10k. This is particularly enticing, considering the quirks of aging Italian wiring.
| Price Range | $3,000 – $5,000 |
| Engine Type | V-Twin, air-cooled |
| Displacement | 1380cc |
| Max Torque | 88 LB-FT |
| Transmission | 6-speed |
| Weight | 743 lbs |
2016 Indian Scout
Launched successfully in 2015, this model allows you to benefit from improvements made in its later production without the concerns often associated with first-year releases. Its modern liquid-cooled V-twin engine emphasizes top-end power over low-end torque, delivering a sportier ride. Compact in design, it may feel a bit cramped for taller riders over 6 feet.
| Price Range | $7,000 – $9,000 |
| Engine Type | V-twin, liquid-cooled |
| Displacement | 1133cc |
| Max Torque | 72 LB-FT |
| Transmission | 6-speed |
| Weight | 552 lbs |

All these cruisers offer a great balance between affordability, reliability, and torque rich engines
2017 Victory Octane
Yes, it’s another Victory model—this one, however, has more in common with the aforementioned Scout than any other Victory motorcycle. It was a pivotal bike that contributed to the brand’s trajectory, paving the way for Polaris to develop the Indian brand upon its solid foundation.
| Price Range | $6,000 – $8,000 |
| Engine Type | V-Twin, liquid-cooled |
| Displacement | 1179cc |
| Max Torque | 76 LB-FT |
| Transmission | 6-speed |
| Weight | 534 lbs |
2004 Harley-Davidson VRSCA V-Rod
Upon its release in the early 2000s, the V-Rod generated quite a buzz. Developed with Porsche’s expertise in liquid-cooled V-twin technology, it certainly caught the attention of enthusiasts; however, it did little to sway traditional Harley devotees. While you can find first-generation bikes at even lower prices than indicated above, investing a bit more typically ensures you receive a bike in better condition—especially considering the complexities of its engine.
| Price Range | $7,000 – $8,000 |
| Engine Type | V-Twin, liquid-cooled |
| Displacement | 1131cc |
| Max Torque | 84 LB-FT |
| Transmission | 5-speed |
| Weight | 619 lbs |
2014 Honda Valkyrie
If you’re looking to experience one of the finest engines ever built without opting for a touring bike, the Honda Valkyrie could be your answer. Its notably smooth engine ensures an impeccable torque delivery, complemented by incredible reliability. While its sales weren’t particularly strong, making it rarer, it’s a gem worth pursuing if it appears on the market.
| Price Range | $8,000 – $10,000 |
| Engine Type | Horizontally Opposed Six, liquid-cooled |
| Displacement | 1832cc |
| Max Torque | 121 LB-FT |
| Transmission | 5-speed |
| Weight | 750 lbs |
2012 Suzuki Boulevard M109R
Years later, the M109R remains on the market. Despite being an aging model, it still delivers immense value—especially in the used segment. While it may not have the highest horsepower figures today, its power output is still more than adequate. That said, be aware that Suzuki has never been synonymous with top-notch build quality, and the chrome components may have suffered over the years.
| Price Range | $7,000 – $9,000 |
| Engine Type | V-Twin, liquid-cooled |
| Displacement | 1783cc |
| Max Torque | 118 LB-FT |
| Transmission | 5-speed |
| Weight | 764 lbs |

Buying a quality cruiser doesn’t have to break the bank, and these inexpensive, used bikes can offer an even better value for the buck.
2005 Yamaha V-Max
If a V-Max pops up for a price that appears alarmingly low, it’s wise to proceed with caution. All first-generation models came equipped with carbs and a complex V-Boost system that is prone to failure and notoriously difficult to repair. Instead, seek out a model that has already undergone this repair work, allowing you to enjoy one of the original muscle bikes’ exhilarating performance.
| Price Range | $4,000 – $6,000 |
| Engine Type | V4, liquid-cooled |
| Displacement | 1198cc |
| Max Torque | 83 LB-FT |
| Transmission | 5-speed |
| Weight | 624 lbs |
2013 Triumph Rocket III
A Triumph Rocket is unlike any other motorcycle. Many contemporary manufacturers may label unconventional designs as “bold,” yet the Rocket’s design feels more like an afterthought. However, if you can look beyond its unusual appearance, you’ll discover a motorcycle equipped with an outstanding triple engine. At its launch, it was hailed as the largest displacement production motorcycle, showcasing the incredible torque made possible by its large engine capacity.
| Price Range | $7,000 – $9,000 |
| Engine Type | Inline-3, liquid-cooled |
| Displacement | 2294cc |
| Max Torque | 163 LB-FT |
| Transmission | 5-speed |
| Weight | 807 lbs |
2011 Ducati Diavel
Owning an Italian motorcycle is an adventure; acquiring a first-year model amplifies the experience. The Ducati Diavel is not only a standout in both respects but also carries risks. This model is exclusively for enthusiasts versed in the potential challenges ahead and is mindful of the risk-reward dynamics tied to such a purchase.
| Price Range | $6,000 – $8,000 |
| Engine Type | L-twin, liquid-cooled |
| Displacement | 1198cc |
| Max Torque | 94 LB-FT |
| Transmission | 6-speed |
| Weight | 527 lbs |

The Harley-Davidson Museum is a North American museum near downtown, Milwaukee, Wisconsin celebrating the more than 100-year history of Harley-Davidson motorcycles. The 130,000-square-foot (12,000 m²) three building complex on 20 acres (81,000 m²) along the Menomonee River bank contains more than 450 Harley-Davidson motorcycles and hundreds of thousands of artifacts from the Harley-Davidson Motor Company’s 110-year history. The museum attracts an estimated 300,000 visitors annually. The museum opened to the public on July 12, 2008, on a 20 acres (81,000 m²) site in the Menomonee Valley. The museum was built in an historically industrial area of Milwaukee. Prior to Harley-Davidson’s purchase of the land from the city, the site was formerly used by the Milwaukee Department of Public Works, Lakeshore Sand Company, and Morton Salt. A 4 feet (1.2 m) layer of imported soil was added to combat the contaminated soil. New vegetation was planted to restore the landscape to its riparian state. In late February 2006, designs for the museum were unveiled. The designs were created by James Biber, a partner at Pentagram, his team, and Michael Zweck-Bonner, an associate at Pentagram. Abbott Miller, a partner at Pentagram, designed the museum’s permanent exhibitions. The firm designed the museum over a period of eight years. On June 1, 2006, Harley-Davidson began the construction of the $75 million complex with a groundbreaking ceremony that included legendary Harley-Davidson dirt track motorcycle racer, Scott Parker, breaking ground by doing a burnout with a Harley-Davidson XL883R Sportster, instead of with the traditional golden shovel. The site includes parking spaces for 1,000 motorcycles and 500 cars. The Museum’s facade also features a 17-foot (5.2 m)-tall, steel Harley-Davidson sign. The museum’s galleries permanent exhibitions, spread throughout two floors, in addition to temporary exhibits and the motor company’s archives. The complex also includes a restaurant, café, retail shop, and special event spaces. Also on display are historic Harley-Davidson items that tell the company’s story and history, such as photographs, posters, advertisements, clothes, trophies, video footage of vintage and contemporary motorcycling, and interactive exhibits, including 10 motorcycles that visitors can sit on.
The Motorcycle Gallery
On the museum’s upper level, a procession of motorcycles is displayed down the center of the main hall, running the length of the building, with galleries on either side.
The Harley-Davidson Journey
Along the east side of the upstairs galleries, a series of interconnected galleries exhibit the Harley-Davidson’s chronological history. The galleries relate the company’s history from its origins in a 10×15-foot wooden shack to its current status as the top U.S. motorcycle manufacturer, producing more than 330,000 bikes each year. The centerpiece of the gallery is "Serial Number One", the oldest known Harley-Davidson in existence, which is encased in glass. The glass enclosure sits within a floor-embedded, illuminated outline of the backyard shed the motor company was founded in.
The Engine Room
The museum’s second floor galleries begin with the Engine Room. A Knucklehead engine is displayed disassembled into several pieces. The Engine Room also features several interactive touch screen elements that show how Harley motors, including Panhead and Shovelhead motors work.
Clubs and Competition
The Clubs and Competition gallery includes displays and information about Harley-Davidson’s racing history. The gallery includes a section of a replica wooden board track, suspended in the air at a 45-degree incline. The wooden track features vintage video footage of actual board track races, and attached 1920s-era Harley-Davidson racing motorcycles; the bikes that raced on board tracks at 100 miles -per-hour. Fatalities were common, which led to the banning of wooden board tracks for motorcycle racing.
Tank Gallery
The museum’s upper floor exhibits also include the Gas Tank Gallery, formerly part of the Harley-Davidson 100th Anniversary Open Road Tour. The exhibit displays 100 of Harley-Davidson’s most memorable tank graphics, spanning 70 years, selected by the company’s styling department and reproduced on "Fat Bob" tanks.
Custom Culture
The Custom Culture gallery covers Harley-Davidson’s impact on American and global culture. The centerpiece of the Custom Culture Gallery is "King Kong", a 13-foot (4.0 m)-long, two-engine Harley-Davidson motorcycle customized by Felix Predko. The exhibit also features exact replicas of the customized Harley-Davidson bikes ridden by Peter Fonda and Dennis Hopper in the 1969 American movie, "Easy Rider", including Fonda’s "Captain America" chopper and Hopper’s "Billy Bike". Two of each of the two choppers were created, and one "Captain America" was destroyed in the film’s production.
