Delphi forums has some great reader tips on how to choose a touring bike.
The challenge first thrown out was a touring bike that’s not a Harley Davidson, and that the owner and wife could enjoy for a few days at a time.
Ruling out a Harley narrows down the options a little, with one reader saying they are worth all the money you pay.
It looks like the Honda Goldwing wins with these forum participants though, with its excellent handling, comfort and overall ability to go the distance.
Other options from the forum include the BMW R1200GS and the Yamaha V-Star.
One of the best tips from the forum is try before you buy – whether that includes renting for a weekend or attending motorcycle shows.
While the general opinion is that many bikes can be set up for touring, which would you pick and why?
