Not to be confused with the large number of sports tourers out there, these bikes are not just sports bikes with panniers and a top box plopped on it. These bikes are built from the ground up, for touring. An up-right seating position, big screen, built in panniers and a large, powerful engine are all included, not to mention comfortable for those journeys that swallow up the miles. They have a wide range, with most manufacturers having one or two models to choose from, and they mostly include some nice new toys with the latest models. Here are a small selection of some tourers:
Honda ST1300 Pan European £14,299
Yamaha FJR1300A £13,499
Kawazaki 1400GTR £13,699
BMW K 1600 GT £15,740
Triumph Trophy £12,949
