Hello and welcome to the forum. So you like the standard cruiser. Every manufacturer make one. All of them look like that photo. That ones a Harley Davidson Sportster.

Less pullback on the handlebars and/or further away seat and/or the rider is short.emd023 wrote:why is this rider less upright than other riders?

That sporty appears to have forward foot controls and low handle bars. Probably drag bars. Some sportsters come with forward controls stock i think but the drag bars are probably aftermarket.

Good responses...
If it were me, I would locate local motorcycle dealerships (all manufacturers), walk in, check out which of their models you might like, and see which one fits you best (what catches your eye, and what works for your skill level - careful about getting a bike to big/too early). Don't be afraid to ask them questions about fit, style, and anything else that comes to mind. They will gladly assist you, guaranteed
If you haven't already done so, you might want to check out the Honda Cruisers (I've got a friend who has the Fury). Their line seems to come the closest to the HD Sportster in the picture.
