What bike would you most like for touring?
#19
I have a Triumph Tiger 1200 XCa - this bike has a great load capacity, an ultra-comfortable seat and superb White Power suspension (KTM owned). It is an accomplished bike for two up riding as long as good luggage choices are made. I can sit on this bike for a ten-hour day with its mesh technology seat which was a new design for 2018. The simple electronic damping makes for great on the fly adjustment for touring without being an overly complex system (It’s not active or even semi-active even though they tout it as so). You can back the damping way off for a carpet ride on smoother roads or turn it up to quite firm to control very heavy loads without it becoming a harsh. I do think you have got to have a 31" leg as a minimum though, this is not a bike to be on the balls of your feet, it is quite top heavy.
