Schwergewichts-Grand-Tourer — gebaut für die lange Strecke, nicht für die Kurven.
Schwergewichts-Tourer — Honda Goldwing, BMW K 1600, Kawasaki Concours 14, Harleys Touring-Familie — sind für die echte Langstrecke gemacht. 1300-km-Tage zu zweit, voll bepackt, elektrisch alles. Die Bikes, mit denen ein Paar einmal Europa abfährt.
The category has held remarkably stable while everything around it has changed. Sales aren't huge, but the buyers tend to keep their bikes for years and trade up within the segment rather than out of it. Adventure bikes ate the touring middle class; pure tourers held the top end and the floor.
