Well, it may not be a cruiser in the traditional since (the same way that a Sportster technically isn't a cruiser), but it's still got a lot of the cruiser ergonomics.

Looking at the Victory and Marauder pics, the seating position is much the same. Notice how on both bikes the ankles are directly under the wrists. In contrast, the Goldwing rider's ankles are well behind the wrists in more of the standard seating position.
