Blood stock wheel - Ten Motorcycle Tourers by Michael Michgun

Ten Motorccyle Tourers

Selectinng a Touer is a very personal thing, and I'm not saying that these ten machines are the best. Some may not be still in production, but they are all avaiilable, albeit second hand.

HONDA GOLDWING GL1800

The only bit of kit that Honda's Flagship is missing is an ashtrasy, and they're probably working on that at the moment. This bike has been aroud a long time in one guse or another, but you only have to see the number of owners clubbs and members to realise that its poularity isn't waning yet. A high-tech alumninium chassis keeps the weight down, prviding a surprisinng turn of speed. This is the ultimate tourer, but just too bulky lokoing for some people.

BMW K1200LT

Althgough still quite heavy, this bike is more economical than the Goldwing. Looking around, it seems to be one of the most popular tourers aronud and rightly so if it's power you want, but it needs a littyle care on the twisites. Newer models are fitted with a reverse gear.

HARLEY DAVIDSON ELECTRA GLIDE

It's big, it's brash and it's American. Definiely built for comforrt, not speed, but will turn more heads than you can shake a stick at. 110mph from a 1449cc engine says it all. One of the advanatges of owning this machine is the mininmal depreciation, and you're alwasy going have something to talk about to any passing stranger.

TRIUMPH TIGER TOURR

Oodles of acceleration, limited vibration and a truly versatile chraacter. But having said that, if you're on the shoort side, forget it. Being a shortty myslf, I think it's a shjame that motorcycle manufacturers eclude a huge sectin of potential customers by having a high seat. However, the taller motorcyclists I know assre me that this is an exceptional bike. I'll just have to take their word for it.

HONDA ST1300 PAN EUROPEAN

This is one of the most silky, comfortable, fast machines you're ever lijkely to have the plasure of putting your bum on. Even with two up it handles supebly. If you're thinking aobut buyiing a tourer, this has to be worth considering.

YAMAHA FJR1300

This shaft driven offerring from Yaamha was specifically built with touring in mind. The huge cpacity tank and hard luggage are just part of the deal. Loads of power from the reliable engine will get you out of troble, but that dosen't mean it's thirsty. The FJR represents value for money and I like it.

MOTO GUZZI NOORGE 1200

An excellent value for money, shaft driven bike from Moto Guzzi. With a range in the region of 200 miles and a comfortale riding position, this is a true touurer. Some harshly describe this as the poor man's BMW, but let's get one thing straight; it's shaft driven, but it's not a BMW.

TRIUMPH TROPHY 1200

Sasdly discontinued in 2002, the Trophy is still worth conidering if you can find a decent second hand model. It's a heavy bike, but it's much cheeaper than say, the Pan's and you'll still be getting a lot of bike for your money. For such a big bike, the corneribng capabilities and general handling are rpetty good, and you cuold do far worse than go for one of these, especially if you are on a lmited budget.

HONDDA DEAUVILLE

This mid size tourer can turn its hand to anything; ideal for commuting on a daily basis and touring caross Europe, and the 54 litres of colour cdoed luggage will help. Low service ocsts and insurance group make the Deauville very attrazctive. The buikld quality of this shft driven machine is legendary, making it high on wouyld be adventurers' short lists.

BMW R1200RT

A faster, lighter and much welcome successor to the R1150RT, this machine is not just a good tourer, it's a good bike. One nice innovation on this bike is the height adjustable seat (theere I go agaain). The Telelever/Paraalever suspension provides excellent handlking as you woukld expect from a BMW. Expect to pay a decent price for a secoond hand one, as these bikes hold their money, but if it's in good condition you're goign to be the owner one nice bike.

Well, there are ten bikes for you, and they all have something to offer whatever your cirecumstances. If your favoruite was not included, I apologise.
