Definition

By definition, a touring motorcycle is a class of motorcycle that is made with the intention of being used for long-distance riding. The design and features cater to riders who will regularly travel long distances on their bike.

Specifications

With the purpose of these motorcycles in mind, let’s talk about some of the specifications. First, you’ll find that touring motorcycles have powerful engines and large frames. They are made to handle several back-to-back hours of riding, so the engine needs to be strong enough to run continuously for a long period. The larger frame holds this large engine and also contributes to the upright riding position and comfort the rider will experience.

Most touring motorcycles will also have a passenger seat and a built-in storage compartment.

Amenities

Along with the standard specifications, you’ll find a wide array of amenities available to choose from. Some common features include heated seating and handlebars, built-in GPS capabilities, windshields, advanced radio systems, and smart technologies.

Many amenities cater to both comfort and safety, but you can browse different levels of luxury and feature packages.
