Touring Bike reviews

This BMW K1600GTL is in a word awesome. Ten years and 48k miles of trouble free riding. For a touring bike this is much faster than it needs to be. Acceleration is amazing. Riding quality has three settings sport normal and comfort and they all mean what they say. The adjust on the fly windshield is worth its weight in gold. The adapting headlight means never turning i to a corner without be able to see what’s there. I’ve ridden bikes over 50 years and if there is a faster more comfortable better quality bagger Ive never seen it. Show less

Found a 2005 v star 1100 and pick it up for $1200. The couple didn't ride any more and were happy to see it go. Ended up selling it for $2900 just a couple weeks later. It was a great bike, but I didn't really think it was for me. Just a year later, since I had $$, I started looking for another bike. Found my 07 v star 1300 sitting on a street corner that had been there for awhile ( about 8 months). Once I was able to find the owner and test ride it ,found out it had a dead cylinder. Anyway, after agreeing with the owner that I would purchase the bike if I could take it to a shop and get it running, he allowed me to take it and 7 days and $107 later, the bike was mine. It is a perfect fit for me. I even tried to sell it but it's mine. So I ended up buying a trailer for it to be able to do some traveling with it. Show less

Best luxury touring motorcycle you can buy. Hands down! She's not cheap but you won't regret it. Guaranteed! Only front suspension could be better but Progressive or Traxxion will solve the problem. Also front fork brace is highly recommended. Show less

Road a Dark Horse in Dark Blue. 3 levels of power. Standard worked great must of the time. For spirited riding, switching to sport mode really perked up the bike quite a bit. Standard mode was best for fuel milage. Sport mode a little twitchy unless you get a tune. Rain mode works well on gravel as well as in wet conditions. Show less

My name is Anthony Vegas. I’m a retired Officer. I’ve been retired for a while now and would love to tell you about my bike. It’s a 2016 Victory Cross Country Touring. When I bought the bike it was as actually in an Indian Motorcycle dealership. I’d never really heard much about Victory bikes . I’ve personally owned nearly every brand of bike over the course of the last 50 or so years. My last bike was a Harley Road Glide. Beautiful bike, but the ride was brutally rough, especially if you road any real distance. I purchased my 2016 Victory in 2017. I made a lot of cosmetic changes to my bike, but I can tell you as an experienced rider, it’s amazing. It’s like a combination between a Harley and BMW. Incredible ride. It’s smooth and responsive for such a large bike! I’ve heard people say, who’s going to work on my bike since Victory closed, well I’ve taken my bike to a Polaris dealer and they had no problem. The bike is so easy to dress up and it looks amazing from all angles Show less

Good reliable motorcycle. Last 300,00 miles. They are carbureted so they need tune ups. They are quick on take off and are fairly quiet . They have cab radios and am/ fm cassette players . The SE comes with air shocks and an on board compressor. It also has reverse. Show less

Awesome motorcycle! Steering handles very well. Very responsive. Tires 40/40 psi Avon Vipers. Getting 38 mpg. Great for such a beast! Lots of power. Throttle is immediately responsive. All of this chrome really turns heads. Love this bike! Show less

I bought new in 1984, had a bunch of engine parts chromed and rode it nearly every weekend from Charleston SC to Jacksonville Fla. for over three years. Never required any extra repairs or maintenance, just routine maintenance which I did most myself. It came with the Vetter fairing, lowers, bags and trunk and a Corbin King and Queen seat. I added the Vetter radio to the fairing and a Radio Shack CB radio. I rode it rain or shine and put nearly 50,000 trouble free miles on it. I have always regretted selling it, it was my favorite until I starting buying and riding Goldwing 1800s. Show less

I own a 2021 Goldwing TOURING DCT Automatic and it is a fantastic bike. Smooth and seats are comfortable. Wondered if I would like Automatic since I have owned Harleys, Suzuki and other Hondas but I really like it. Like the stereo volume. Easy to maneuver. Moves out too. Lots of room. People walk over and compliment the bike. Great electronics. Feel attached to the road. Just a great bike. Show less

My Honda 2001 Honda GL1800 Gold wing ABS just turned 300,000 km. An absolutely outstanding motorcycle in very aspect. I had to address the unbelievably mediocre stock suspension along with the horribly uncomfortable stock seat.l too. Both were inexpensive solutions that I resolved shortly after I purchased in 2001. With these few changes the 5th generation GW’s are in a class of their own. Show less
