The word ‘Rider' itself defines hardcore zeal to pursue adventures throughout his/her life leaving everything behind. In a country like India, riders require deep passion to undertake long trips on the hills of Himalayas, deserts of Rajasthan and other unexplored places.

A decade back, going on a long ride was considered a passion of men, but the scenario is changed now. Today, we can find a lot of women shifted to the riders seat from the pillion. Most of the women riders love to take long rides on cruiser bikes. So let's find out 5 motorcycles that are good for the women to cover long distances comfortably.

Harley-Davidson Softail Series:

Designed on a Softail frame, these bikes look like hardtail motorcycles of the past while at the same time, offering the comfort of rear suspension.

Featuring the Harley's ‘Big-Twin' engine, it falls under the bigger displacement engines of 1690cc. It has a long handlebar offering a comfortable ride to short height riders. It has a 1690cc air-cooled, twin cam, 130B engine that pumps out the maximum power of 65bhp at 5500 rpm along with the highest torque of 132Nm at 3500rpm. The bike offers good gravitational force, thanks to its heavy weight and lower saddle.

Harley Davidson Sportster Series:


Harley-Davidson Sportster Series is tough and bulky, offering good stability while riding. The straight seating posture provide a comfortable ride on longer journeys. The seat of the motorcycle is placed lower as compared to other cruiser and brings a nice handling.

Powering of the motorcycle is done by 833cc, air-cooled engine that churns out the output of 50bhp and the peak torque of 69Nm. It can attain a top speed of 200+ (should not try) that allows the rider to cover maximum distance in lesser time. Built on a mild-steel and tubular framing, it has telescopic forks up front and twin-sided swing arm at the rear side.

Harley Davidson Street Glide:

When it was launched in 2006, it received all the attention of the heavyweight cruiser lovers, especially women. Thanks to its sleek appearance and styling, Street Glider is a treat to have. It is a retro-styled motorcycle that somewhat looks similar to the bikes which were seen 90's cowboy movies.

Harley-Davidson Street Glider offers a comfortable rider for both rider and a pillion.  It features 1690cc air-cooled, high-output twin cam 103 with integrated oil cooler engine that delivers 138Nm of torque.

Star Motorcycles V Star 250:

Next in the list is V Star 250, although it has a 250cc engine, but it looks no less than any highly powered cruiser. It is a middleweight motorcycle that allows female riders to handle it efficiently. It features 249cc, air-cooled, SOHC 60-degree, V-twin, 2-Valve, single cylinder engine. Earlier this year, the company introduced it with few designing tweaks and many more are expected in the coming models.
