Seats tend to be wider with back rests, and there’s space for saddlebags and a passenger. Of all the different styles of motorcycles, touring bikes are ideal if you’re looking for a big motorcycle that offers the ultimate comfort. Touring bikes are the best long-distance motorcycles because they have large engines and fuel tanks, as well as expansive front fairings complete with bug screens to help with protection from the elements. Examples: Honda Gold Wing Tour, Kawasaki Vulcan 1700 Voyager.Riding Position: Forward pegs, mid-height handlebars, neutral seat.They can also be purchased for a lower price tag than most choppers. While choppers are modified to have extended forks to go straight and fast, bobbers like the Triumph Bonneville Bobber have shortened rear fenders ideal for cornering. Similar to choppers, bobbers also have the extra weight chopped off. As a type of cruiser with additional weight and amenities “chopped off,” this custom motorcycle is ideal for going fast and looking good doing it. Choppers give off this American-muscle vibe because of their extended forks, extra high handlebars, and exposed engine. When you hear “chopper,” you probably picture about a guy in a leather jacket riding a Harley-Davidson Road King on the wide open road. If you pair the vintage body style of a cruiser with the speed and power of a sports bike, you have yourself a power cruiser.
Looking for even more speed and power? Experienced riders can opt for a power cruiser like the Kawasaki Vulcan S, which offers a more thrilling ride with its low-ground clearance, thicker rear tire, and more powerful engine. However, those looking for lots of low-end torque and a powerful yet comfy way to get around will love cruisers. The hefty price tag, traditionally large engines, and heavy body can be intimidating for some new riders. Leaned-back seats make cruisers some of the most comfortable motorcycles for relaxed weekend rides and carefree commutes to work without looking overly bulky. Examples: Indian Chief Dark Horse, Harley-Davidson Softail Slim.Riding Position: Forward pegs, high handlebars, reclined seat.Cafe racers have a forward tilted seat and a sportier, European-style frame that adds a vintage vibe to your ride while still offering more comfort than a standard sports bike. Those looking for a standard bike with a retro flair can find it in a cafe racer-style motorcycle, such as the Royal Enfield Continental GT 650 or the Norton Commando 961 Sport. They’re ideal for short commutes, but they can also be modified for longer trips. Standard motorcycles are also one of the best beginner motorcycles because of their affordability and versatility. Looking for the best type of motorcycle to get you to and from work? Standard bikes-also known as roadsters or naked motorcycles because of their exposed engines-are some of the easiest to ride. This is thanks to their upright seat, average-sized engine, comfortable handlebar and peg positions, and lighter body style. Riding Position: Neutral pegs, mid to low handlebars, upright seat.Photo via Great For: Daily commutes, weekend adventures
