Summary
SlashGear’s latest roundup names five motorcycles riders favor for road trips: Harley-Davidson Road Glide, Honda Goldwing, Yamaha Tenéré 700, Honda Africa Twin CRF1100L, and Royal Enfield Himalayan 411/450.
Harley’s Road Glide and Honda’s Goldwing anchor the list as heavyweight tourers, with 1,923cc and 1,833cc engines, large storage capacity, and comfort features aimed at long highway days.
Yamaha’s 689cc Tenéré 700 and Honda’s 1,083cc Africa Twin represent the adventure-touring side, trading luxury for lighter weight, off-road capability, and long-range customization.
Royal Enfield’s Himalayan rounds out the selection with a smaller-displacement option built around simplicity, roughly 70 mpg fuel economy, and more than 250 miles of range.
The list frames road-trip appeal broadly, spanning luxury two-up cruisers, midweight adventure bikes, and budget-friendly machines suited to paved and unpaved routes.
