Touring Bike & Sport Tourer ✅ Honda Touring Motorcycle

Touring bike, sport tourer and long distance motorcycle by Honda

Touring motorcycles, tourers and sport touring models – the Honda range for long distances

A touring bike from Honda is built for the long haul: a comfortable riding position, wind protection, room for luggage and an engine that still feels relaxed after hours in the saddle. At Honda Motorrad Zürich in Volketswil you will find the full range – from the classic touring motorcycle to the sharper sport tourer.

Both categories are on this page: the comfort focused tourers and the sport touring models that combine long distance ability with more riding dynamics. Which touring motorbike suits you depends on how you travel – two up with luggage, or alone on winding roads.

Touring motorcycle – the tourer built for maximum comfort

The classic touring motorcycles are built around comfort: a large fairing, generous suspension travel, cases and a top box from the factory. If you plan long trips on a touring motorbike, this is where you will find the models with the most room and the calmest motorway stretch. The Honda Gold Wing leads this category, joined by the NT1100 as a versatile long distance machine.

Sport tourer – sport touring with comfort and dynamics

A sport tourer combines dynamics, comfort and performance at a high level – for rides that are as enjoyable as they are long. Compared with a pure touring motorcycle a sport touring model is firmer, lighter on its feet and more agile, without giving up the comfort you need for distance. The Honda CB 1000 GT is the new arrival in this category.

Touring bike for long distance and grand touring

Alpine passes, a grand tour or simply the motorcycle for long daily distances: a touring bike shows its strengths exactly where other machines become tiring. Wind protection, seat comfort and the luggage system decide more about a good day out than raw power does.

Accessories for your touring bike – panniers, top box, windscreen and crash bars

A touring motorcycle only becomes a proper travel machine with the right accessories. Luggage, wind protection and crash protection matter more on a long stage than raw power does. We fit and advise to suit your model.

Panniers, top box and luggage on a touring motorcycle

No luggage, no touring: a top box swallows helmet and rain gear, while panniers keep the weight low and narrow. Honda tourers take matching cases and top boxes – we fit the carriers and advise you on the permitted load. For shorter trips a tank bag is often enough.

Windscreen, crash bars and custom work on a sport tourer

The windscreen decides how calm the motorway stretch feels – too low and it buffets, too tall and the air stalls. We match the screen to your height. Crash bars protect fairing and engine if the bike tips over at a standstill, which matters on a heavy touring motorbike. We will also tell you what needs to be registered when converting a touring bike.

Tyres and exhaust – what counts on a touring bike

On a touring motorcycle the tyres carry the most weight over the longest stages. We fit and balance touring tyres that combine mileage with wet grip. The same rule applies to the exhaust as everywhere else: whatever is fitted has to be road legal and registered. Ask us in the motorcycle workshop in Volketswil about the options for your model.

The large tourers require an unrestricted category A licence. Which category applies to a specific model is something we clarify with you before you buy.
