3 Best Touring Motorcycle

Unlike cars, motorcycles offer incredible versatility when traveling. You can travel different types of roads without much problem. However, not all motorcycles are good for long and adventurous tours.

So check out the three best touring motorcycles in this post.

Premium Choice – Honda GL1800 Gold Wing

Honda GL1800 Gold Wing perhaps the benchmark in the motorcycle segment for travel, and its long history proves it. It features everything, power, technology and comfort to travel kilometers comfortably and easily, both alone and with a companion.

In 2018, it underwent a significant evolution with a new engine that delivers 125 hp, more than enough to make motorcycle trips easily.

A complete electronics, navigation and audio system, electric screen, electronic suspension configuration to adapt it to the type of load and accessories make it the queen of the road.

Mid Range – Yamaha FJR1300

Within the touring bikes segment, the Yamaha FJR1300 perfectly meets the points. It has the sporty cut of the Japanese brand, but at the same time, it is one of the best touring bikes.

Its sharp lines, powerful 145 hp engine and electronics allow you to enjoy a weekend route or a mountain pass with curves.

It’s an ideal touring motorcycle thanks to its aerodynamic protection, riding comfort, general equipment and technology. The cruise control allows you to ride at legal limits on the highway, with total tranquility and, above all, comfort.

Most Affordable – Kawasaki Ninja 1000 SX

Among the top highlights for touring bikes, the Kawasaki Ninja 1000 SX stands out – simply because of the features and comfort it offers for such an affordable price.

It also consumes less compared to the others, with a consumption of 5.8 liters of gasoline per 100 kilometers. Of course, its tank has the least capacity: 19 liters. Among its safety features are the Kawasaki anti-lock braking system and the turn assist control that helps you not lose stability.

What If You Need a Harley Davidson Touring Bike?

Who else doesn’t know about Harley Davidson, the symbol of American beauty in the motorcycle industry? Any list, particularly of touring motorbikes, is incomplete without the inclusion of one or more from Harley. How can you deny a long history of over a century? Every H-D touring bike represents an iconic style with added quality and riding comfort, of which the latter two are essential for a touring or cruising bike. 

However, we cannot claim all of them are the same – a few of them are definitely one even two steps ahead of the other models. We think the must-prefer model is Electra Glide Ultra Classic, a great option having a super-powerful Milwaukee-Eight engine. 

It will amaze you with its crisp throttle response and soul-satisfying rumble. Easily adjustable rear shocks with top-notch rear and front suspension will offer you a super plush ride. Electronically linked brakes will provide the right amount of brake, ensuring the desired comfort. 

The longer the ride, the more you will fall in love with the comfort it offers through the added Two-Up Electra Glide Seat (the upgraded Street Glide Special contains the same seat as stated above). Back support, wide passenger area, back and armrests – what is not there? Considering everything, this can be your first choice for touring.

The Street Glide is another option to consider. It comes with a shark-nosed, fork-mounted fairing with a single headlight. It is more of a classical look bike than relatively modern models, but you’ll love the sleek, “slammed” look with a lowered suspension. You will feel it lightweight while riding, so balancing will be super comfortable. The special version of the model – “Street Glide Special” – is more comfortable, with an upgraded high-comfort seat style like Electra Glide, a taller windscreen, and an increased luggage capacity.

Bottom Line

In fact, the best choice for any subject varies from person to person, even in the case of motorcycles. However, for touring, there are some must-have factors that a motorcycle contains, such as comfort, braking, long-running capacity, and more. Our list has been made based on those mandatory considerations. So even if it doesn’t match your personal preference, these bikes are really reliable touring bikes.
