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.

  1. BMW · adventure

    BMW R 1300 GS

    9.3

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

  2. Ducati · adventure

    Ducati Multistrada V4 S

    8.9

    A 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.

    Yamaha Ténéré 700

    8.5

    Yamaha Tracer 9 GT

    8.5

    A fast, characterful triple with semi-active suspension and standard luggage that delivers exceptional sport-touring value, only let down by a busy ride and modest wind protection.

  8. Triumph · cruiser

    Triumph Rocket 3 R

    8.5

    The muscle roadster in its purest form: a 2,458cc triple, the biggest production motorcycle engine on sale, delivering surreal 225 Nm shove with genuine handling and Brembo Stylema stoppers, absurd, addictive and unlike anything else.

    Aprilia Tuareg 660

    8.5

    Royal Enfield Himalayan

    8.4

    A transformational leap over the old 411: the liquid-cooled Sherpa engine makes this the standout budget ADV, punching above its price.
