The Best Touring Motorcycles
A great touring bike disappears beneath you on a long day; comfort, wind protection, and range all matter more than lap times. These are the best motorcycles for racking up the miles.

BMW R 1300 GS
9.3The definitive big adventure bike: lighter, more powerful, and more sophisticated than any boxer GS before it, and the class benchmark by some margin.

Ducati Multistrada V4 S
8.9A superbike-fast V4 wrapped in a genuinely do-everything adventure-tourer: semi-active Skyhook suspension, radar cruise and a deep electronics suite make it the benchmark big ADV, if you can stretch to the price and reach the seat.

Triumph Rocket 3 R
