Embarking on a long motorcycle adventure is one of the most liberating experiences a person can have. The wind blowing against you and the open road unfolding in front of you is nothing short of spectacular and unmatched by driving. The ride itself forms an important part of the motorcycle experience. The physical effort involved in riding for hours at a time and traversing interesting new roads and terrain requires stamina, focus and a love of the road.
Likewise, when you set out with your trusty steed (and perhaps other riders), It’s also important to consider the gear you rely on to participate in the experience. When you start driving long distances for days (or even weeks), the motorcycle itself can greatly improve the riding experience.
In the motorcycle market, there are various bike styles. Some are built to be speed demons that can rip through the road and provide a burst of adrenaline for even the most diehard thrill-seeker. Others are touring bikes designed for longer rides, with larger, more comfortable seats, and trunks, often with large engines and fuel tanks.
Honda Gold Wing

The Honda Gold Wing is a staple in the touring motorcycle world. The shredder offers huge storage capacity with a total storage area of 121 litres, including the space between the top box and the bed. This model also includes electric windshield adjustment. You can change the angle and height of this shielding feature to suit the exact way you sit on the seat. The controls for this adjustment are also programmable, allowing you to set multiple alignments or some comfortable riding body position for different riders.
This bike—and many others in the touring class—offer the extra rider’s Comfort as standard, not an afterthought. Gold Wing offers a 23-degree angle on the back support of the rear seat, and a reinforced suede and synthetic blend for comfort and durability on long journeys in the bike’s two seats.
When it comes to safety features, the Gold Wing is the winner. Motorcycles include an airbag that can help prevent major injuries in the event of a collision. Full LED lighting also adorns the front fascia, along with LED fog lights and three-dimensional high beams. The Honda Gold Wing can also be purchased with an automatic transmission (note DCT), which can drastically change the way you think about long rides.

Yamaha Venture Transcontinental
Yamaha Venture Transcontinental has always been for long distance riders favorite. These bikes include heated seats for the rider and an additional seat in the rear, as well as heated grips to keep your hands strong no matter what the road may throw at you.
Transcontinental offers a 90 horsepower eight-valve V-twin rated at 1,854cc and 126 foot-pounds of torque. The bike uses a 6-speed derailleur and offers 46mm telescoping front fork suspension and a single-shock rear system with remote preload adjustment. Riders can also enjoy the luxury of a large 6.6-gallon fuel tank to support long-distance travel. In newer models (2021 and later), Yamaha has added a name For the “Sure-Park” function. This uses the power of a small electric motor to assist in low-speed parking situations. On tricky slopes or slippery roads, without revving the engine and potentially losing contact between the tires and the ground, this feature completely eliminates the need for fine-tuning the engine. In forward and reverse maneuvers, the electric motor takes over the parking maneuver requirements and allows the rider to skid expertly into a position.
Harley-Davidson Electra Glide
Harley-Davidson makes some of the most iconic motorcycles. The Harley-Davidson Electra Glide is the brand’s flagship touring model: a new breed in 107- and 114-cubic-inch layouts and a Milwaukee-Eight Big Twin engine. On the 107 cubic inch model, the bike achieves 111 foot-pounds of torque and 43 combined city/highway MPG.
Motorcycles are an otherworldly sight. Electra Glide offers a rear shock with emulsion technology combined with a preload adjuster, allowing you to customize your ride. Additionally, the front fascia and windshield feature a design approach to the brand’s signature batwing look.
The screen has been configured for a mid-height mount to naturally promote airflow around you while providing minimal Visibility invasion. The Shredder utilizes the old saddlebag layout for storage and features a classic upright positioning with a floor for the rider. These provide a platform for pleasant driving and classic comfortable seating.
Indian Road Hog

Finally, the Indian Roadmaster is a staple among touring motorcycles. The chopper uses a 6-speed Thunderstroke air-cooled V-twin rated at 116 cubic inches and 1,890cc. Indian returned to the market under the brand ownership of Polaris and in 2014 began to make its presence felt in the motorcycle world again. The result is a line of touring bikes that perform well. The bike includes ABS brakes and is longer than the previous model. This makes the handling a little slow, but the steering effort required is buttery smooth and allows for a calm and enjoyable ride unlike any other motorcycle. The Roadmaster has also added 142 liters of storage space in the saddleback, rear compartment and elsewhere. It also includes a small luggage rack at the top of the compartment, adding the potential to easily strap on extra gear when needed. One thing that sets the Roadmaster apart is its infotainment system. While other motorcycle manufacturers have opted to streamline command electronics (including touring models), Indian has turned to systems that improve rider enjoyment. The 7” touchscreen adds what the Indians call “Ride Command” to your console, providing a central system for your information and connectivity needs.
