The first time this model started taking the shape of today’s touring machine was in 1980, when Honda unveiled its Interstate model. This first fully dressed tourer was available to give extra that extra look and protection with its complete fairing. It was from this time that motorcycle manufacturers started working on models for long haul trips and have to say that most did a great job! Some of today’s best machines for such style and comfort are surely this, the 2018 Honda Gold Wing Luxury Tourer and the BMW K1600GTL, apart from the Harleys
