Long Distance Road Touring

A trip of 1500km or more should be done on a quiet bike with at least three cylinders. An engine capacity of around 1000cc is recommended along with a large windshield and comfortable saddle. The wheelbase should be more than 150cm to ensure a mooth ride.

If at all possible the bike frame should offer lots of space for panniers and other bike mounted storage.

Generally speaking the quieter the motorcycle the more relaxed the rider
