Although any motorcycle can be used to tour with, manufacturers have brought specific models designed to address the particular needs of these riders. Common to the touring motorcycle models is usually large displacement <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicycle_fairing" title="Bicycle fairing">fairings</a> and windshields (to offer a high degree of weather and wind protection), large capacity <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuel_tank" title="Fuel tank">fuel tanks</a> (for long ranges between fill-ups), engines offering lots of low-end <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horsepower" title="Horsepower">horsepower</a>, and a more relaxed, more <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motorcycle#Motorcycle_rider_postures" title="Motorcycle">upright seating position</a> than <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sport_bike" title="Sport bike">sport bikes</a>. These motorcycles can be further subdivided into multiple sub-categories, which are commonly used terms within the motorcycle industry.<br /><br /><h2><span class="mw-headline">Full-dress tourers</span></h2> <div class="thumb tright"> <div class="thumbinner" style="width: 182px;"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:K1200lt.jpg" class="image" title="BMW K1200LT at Glacier National Park"><img alt="BMW K1200LT at Glacier National Park" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/ed/K1200lt.jpg/180px-K1200lt.jpg" class="thumbimage" border="0" height="120" width="180" /></a> <div class="thumbcaption"> <div class="magnify"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:K1200lt.jpg" class="internal" title="Enlarge"><img src="http://en.wikipedia.org/skins-1.5/common/images/magnify-clip.png" alt="" height="11" width="15" /></a></div> BMW K1200LT at Glacier National Park</div> </div> </div> <p>Full-Dress touring motorcycles are generally characterized by extremely large fairings and bodywork compared to other forms of tourers, the integration of hard luggage into the design of the motorcycle (often including both saddlebags and a top-mounted box), very large displacement, torque-rich engines, and a very upright, comfortable riding position. Additionally, standard and optional amenities on full-dress tourers often encompasses equipment not normally offered on other motorcycles, such as complete stereos (AM/FM plus CD or cassette is standard, and now satellite radio is becoming more common), heated seats and hand-grips, GPS navigation systems, selective venting, power windshields, electrically controllable windshield, and for certain models in certain model-years, such oddities as integrated air compressors, air conditioning and air bags. Full-dress tourers are designed specifically for riding on pavement, although they may be taken onto hard, compacted dirt roads; they are specifically not designed for off-road duties. Common current examples of full-dress tourers include the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honda" title="Honda">Honda</a> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honda_Goldwing" title="Honda Goldwing">Goldwing</a>, the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BMW" title="BMW">BMW</a> K1200LT and the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harley-Davidson" title="Harley-Davidson">Harley-Davidson</a> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harley-Davidson_FL#Electra_Glide" title="Harley-Davidson FL">Electra Glide</a>, all of which have become quite popular, and the newer and controversially styled <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victory_Motorcycles" title="Victory Motorcycles">Victory</a> Vision Tour.</p><br /><h2><span class="mw-headline">Standard tourers</span></h2> <div class="thumb tright"> <div class="thumbinner" style="width: 182px;"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Left-front-w2.jpg" class="image" title="BMW R1200RT Touring Motorcycle"><img alt="BMW R1200RT Touring Motorcycle" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/41/Left-front-w2.jpg/180px-Left-front-w2.jpg" class="thumbimage" border="0" height="127" width="180" /></a> <div class="thumbcaption"> <div class="magnify"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Left-front-w2.jpg" class="internal" title="Enlarge"><img src="http://en.wikipedia.org/skins-1.5/common/images/magnify-clip.png" alt="" height="11" width="15" /></a></div> BMW R1200RT Touring Motorcycle</div> </div> </div> <p>Standard tourers normally offer fewer amenties and less weight than full dress tourers, but still are designed with the primary task of laying back miles over pavement in comfort.

Motorcycles in this category share a unique combination of traits that provide them very high ground clearance (for off-road purposes), particularly large fuel reserves, large displacement understressed engines for high reliability and heavy torque output, large size and good high-speed highway behavior & handling. This combination of traits (and their weight) is also what separates them from traditional off-road, enduro and MX class motorcycles.</p> <p>It is common for a large selection of purpose-driven options to be available for global tourers, including skid plates (to protect the engine and transmission during off-road use), larger and additional fuel tanks than stock, metal-formed hard luggage for extreme condition use, hardened GPS navigation systems designed to handle off-road abuse, etc. These bikes do not necessarily ship with hard luggage, but usually offer them as optional extras either from the manufacturer or via third-party suppliers. These motorcycles are often used as the basis for competitions in extreme rally events, including the grueling <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dakar_Rally" title="Dakar Rally">Dakar Rally</a>.</p> <div class="thumb tright"> <div class="thumbinner" style="width: 182px;"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Gs-600.jpg" class="image" title="BMW R1200GS dual-purpose motorcycle"><img alt="BMW R1200GS dual-purpose motorcycle" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/84/Gs-600.jpg/180px-Gs-600.jpg" class="thumbimage" border="0" height="136" width="180" /></a> <div class="thumbcaption"> <div class="magnify"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Gs-600.jpg" class="internal" title="Enlarge"><img src="http://en.wikipedia.org/skins-1.5/common/images/magnify-clip.png" alt="" height="11" width="15" /></a></div> BMW R1200GS dual-purpose motorcycle</div> </div> </div> <p>Noteworthy current examples include the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BMW_F650GS" class="mw-redirect" title="BMW F650GS">BMW F650GS</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BMW_GS" title="BMW GS">R1200GS</a>, the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KTM" title="KTM">KTM</a> 950 & 990 Adventure series, the Suzuki <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suzuki_DL1000_V-Strom" title="Suzuki DL1000 V-Strom">DL1000</a> and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suzuki_DL650_V-Strom" title="Suzuki DL650 V-Strom">DL650</a> V-Strom, and the venerable <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kawasaki_KLR650" title="Kawasaki KLR650">Kawasaki KLR650</a>.

The paradigm arguably originated with the 1976 BMW R100 RS, which combined BMW's traditional strengths for touring with a full-coverage racing fairing that entailed clip on-like handlebars and a semi-crouched riding position. The sport touring category includes such motorcycles as the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honda_VF_and_VFR" title="Honda VF and VFR">Honda VFR (Interceptor)</a> and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honda_ST_series" title="Honda ST series">ST series</a>, the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yamaha_FJR1300" title="Yamaha FJR1300">Yamaha FJR1300</a>, the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triumph_Motorcycles" title="Triumph Motorcycles">Triumph</a> Sprint & Sprint ST, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ducati" class="mw-redirect" title="Ducati">Ducati Motor Holding</a> ST series, the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moto_Guzzi" title="Moto Guzzi">Moto Guzzi Norge</a>, the Suzuki <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suzuki_Katana" title="Suzuki Katana">Katana</a>, the Kawasaki <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kawasaki_Concours" title="Kawasaki Concours">Concours</a>, as well as many <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BMW_motorcycles" class="mw-redirect" title="BMW motorcycles">BMW</a> GT, ST and RT models.
