+== 5 Midweight Motorcycles That Happen To Be Great For Touring ==
+Travis Langness - April 18, 2026 4:30 pm EST
+There are all sorts of options for big, heavy, ultra-plush motorcycling that'll take you hundreds of miles in a single day. If you want maximum comfort and all the latest features, you can opt for big bikes like the Honda Gold Wing, which happily eats up the miles on any road trip. Then, of course, there are cruisers from Harley-Davidson and Indian Motorcycles that offer classically-styled riding and impressive on-road dynamics, but they do so in pretty large fashion.
+What if you want something a bit smaller? Something with decent power, modern tech, and a bit of corner-carving capability? It still needs to be able to take you on long-distance rides, but without abusing your body or assaulting your wallet. That's where the middleweight touring motorcycle category comes in.
+Several bikes offer comfortable, long-distance riding capability in a smaller package. They're not tiny beginner bikes, but they aren't expensive heavy-duty motorcycles either. These middleweight bikes, at least in our mind, fall between 500 and 1000ccs, are under 600 pounds, priced below $15,000, and provide impressive riding dynamics.

+== A City Motorcycle That Feels Lightweight, Reliable, And Stress-Free ==
+Luke Zietsman - May 22, 2026, 5:31 PM EDT
+If you are in the market for a commuter bike, there really are several different directions you can go in these days. Scooters are arguably the most practical choice, but they can be limiting in the sense that longer trips are more or less off the cards (with a few unique exceptions). The same goes for electric motorcycles, which have come a long way but are still pretty expensive compared to conventional gas-powered alternatives.

+== 12 Motorcycles Bikers Love For Long-Distance Riding ==
+Travis Langness - May 30, 2026 4:30 pm EST
+There are all sorts of ways to enjoy motorcycles. Sure, you can enjoy riding a motorcycle to-and-from work, but there are elevated experiences, too. Rides that rise above the typical daily commute and can include stuff like knee-dragging track days, hill-climbing dirt bike excursions in the desert, and exploring unknown back roads on the lookout for epic vistas. But for riders who prefer long distances, there are appealing attributes shared across motorcycles that go the distance.
+The best bikes for road trips have a lot in common. They're comfortable, with riding positions that are easy to maintain for hours on end (usually they're pretty upright, unlike sport bikes, where you're bending your body a lot), and if they're modern, the best long-distance rides have modern tech to ease your journey. Suspension that's soft enough to soak up bumps, but well-tuned enough to take a few corners, is part of the deal, as is reliability, and in many cases, a sense of adventure. And while it's not a requirement, many of the best road trip bikes have big storage compartments for gear — at least large enough for some extra clothes to keep you warm (or cool) along the way.
+Based on my personal motorcycle-testing experience and the experience of riders I've known for years, these are some of the bikes I'd personally recommend for long-distance rides. And the best part is, they come in all sorts of different shapes and sizes.
