1. You Value Rider Comfort
The more often you go riding, the more important rider comfort becomes. No one wants to spend their long-distance ride suffering from aching muscles and joints. That's why touring motorcycles are built with a comfortable ride in mind.
The exact features depend on the model, but can include:
- softer seats to allow comfortable sitting for extended periods of time
- air deflectors to keep hot engine heat from hitting your legs
- handlebars placed at optimized heights to reduce wrist strain and shoulder fatigue
- windshields to reduce wind fatigue
One benefit of Harley-Davidson® touring motorcycles is how easy they are to upgrade. If a model you love is missing a rider comfort feature you want, it'll be easy to add it!
2. You Want To Bring A Passenger
It's exciting to share your love of riding with others. But not all motorcycles can accommodate two riders. Fortunately, most touring motorcycles do! The seat is designed to fit two riders without anyone feeling cramped. The engine is made to handle the extra weight without sacrificing performance. Enjoy giving everyone from your partner to your oldest buddy the ride of their lives with a touring motorcycle!
3. You Want Lots Of Storage Space
A safe and comfortable long-distance ride requires plenty of gear. You'll need a miniature tool kit, first aid kid, waterproof outerwear in case it rains, water, and so on. If you are spending the night, you will also need supplies such as clothing and toiletries. All of this cargo needs to go somewhere, which is why touring motorcycles are crafted with plenty of storage space. If you find you need even more room, it's easy to add even more storage options.
4. You Want Larger Fuel Tanks
Many touring motorcycles are designed with larger fuel tanks. This allows you to ride for longer before needing to visit a gas station. Spend more time on the road and less time refueling. This also allows you to explore more remote routes where there's increased distance between gas stations.
5. You Want A Larger Motorcycle
Touring motorcycles tend to be larger in size than many other motorcycles on the market. The large frame adds to the iconic style, making sure you stand out on the open road. The larger size also helps make these models more stable on the road. Whether you are tackling a twisting route or hitting the road on a blustery day, you'll love the extra stability that touring motorcycles offer.
The Ideal Touring Motorcycle Owner
A touring motorcycle offers perks for all types of riders to enjoy, but they are especially enjoyed by those who ride for extended periods of time. If you want to commute to work or go on road trips, then a touring motorcycle is your top choice.
