oh yeah just regularly called CRUISER ..

now that makes most sense! ...when other particular bikes where designed.
they called out different names for different bikes ...
yeah like other cruisers always would have those '70 lines on the frame!.
like the muscle cars from the '60 ..being called coupé or cruiser ..and sedan
yeah that makes most sense !⚜
