The craze of touring had benefitted Royal Enfield the most whose sales chart had been souring to a new height in recent years. But not everyone is a cult follower of the iconic bike. We might have also met many riders who go on touring with whatever bikes they have without giving a single thought that not every bike can face the challenge of touring. Ultimately they end up in wrecking their bike’s mechanicals and sometimes self.
If you are such a person who loves biking long distance in India, here are the top 5 best touring bike you can choose from which are affordable and capable enough to munch any distance you want to.
Harley Davidson Street 750
Starting from Rs 4,10,000
Why we have included Harley Davidson Street 750 because it is not only the most affordable H-D bike in India but H-D specially made this bike for Indian market. This bike may not be comparable to the flagship models of H-D but you cannot get more at such price tag from them.
The bike has 749cc liquid cooled engine that developed 60Nm of torque and 53hp. You get the best handling characteristics and riding dynamics a cruiser can offer. The six speed transmission allow you to easily cruise well above 100kph while low seating position with forward foot pegs gives you optimum comfort. H-D has tuned the shock absorbers to suit Indian road conditions. The two piston calliper front disc and single calliper rear disc gives you good confidence while riding at high speeds.
The only problem associated with this bike is its service network which does not allow riders to take it to remote areas and its range of close to 280kms is on lower side.
