well, cruiser bikes are a designation of a style of bike, and Harley riders are likely to be more picky about the term when bikes could be confused with theirs, but metric really applies to the country of origin. While a Vstar is trying desperately to be a Harley, it is still a metric bike, and Imperial riders definitely do not want any confusion. Pretty much anyone can tell when something is a crotch rocket so maybe they don't care to throw the term around as much with them.
