Why do manufacturers of motorcycle cruisers, and magazines about cruisers, not post the horsepower ratings for their specific cruiser models?

Some do, but the issue of horsepower is all rather moot. All motorcycles in this category have more than enough horsepower to do the job they are intended to do: carry one or two people on long-distance excursions, with their luggage and, possibly, towing a light trailer. My car, for example, has a two-litre engine and is the second most powerful car that I have owned over the past 30 years. One can purchase motorcycles with the same engine volume, though I rather suspect that the motorcycle has more horsepower on tap. Horsepower is not an issue with cruisers, but rider comfort and manoeuvrability certainly are.

Because the cruisers are under performing. Street bikes with smaller engines are delivering much more horsepower. Cruisers need to stop making bigger motors, and deliver more power.

Too much lying going on.
