Tourers

Os tourers pesados — Honda Goldwing, BMW K 1600, Kawasaki Concours 14, a família Touring da Harley — são para a longa distância no mundo real. Etapas de mais de 1300 km a dois, malas cheias, electrificação total. As motas com que um casal dá a volta à Europa.

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.
