Alright who out there is touring on a wholly inappropriate motorcycle, something like an R1 or a WR250? I know you're out there. You should jump into the discord server and show off your rig on yammienoob.co/
Yammie Noob how about a 125 duke?
R3 for touring, god i want that strom.
Hey yammie , can I ask a totally unrelated question? Which would be the better (more stable) bike for riding in windy conditions, as it’s always windy in Ireland, a ninja 650 or a gsx 650f? I’m guessing the gsx because it’s heavier? I hear ya sayin, that’s two totally unrelated questions, ok, totally unrelated question 3, which is the better bike in general? You can tell I’m a new rider can’t you? That’s kind of rhetorical but I just put a question mark on it just to confuse myself and possibly anybody that reads this.
I toured around the U.S in my 500 cbr bro...100% inappropriate , but it gets me there.

*THE COMFORT ZONE*
DU DE DA DU DU DE DA DU DE DA DU.
Thanks for mentioning Neil Peart. Often he rode between venues in all weather. Mad props. His songs changed my life. Godspeed. Now he can drum battle his hero Buddy Rich in heaven.
+1. Learning Peart's work on drums absolutely changed my view of music and life. A lot of his books on audible are free right now. If people don't know he was a rider, they probably didn't know he wrote books in addition to the majority of Rush's songs.
Ghost Rider. We never met , but , both felt, companionship of the road.
John Barber don’t feed the troll. He needs attention. Poor guy never gets it at home. Probably grounded by mom or his wife. Probably isn’t allowed to own a bike.
@@chaseothernouns2510 I grabbed his books for free, though I'd purchased a few before they were offered for free. Though I don't think his books hold up as literature, or even good travelogues, I loved them because it was like I was hanging with Neil Peart a regular guy and the greatest drummer of all time.
Have done two iron butt rides on Goldwing yup it's a road sofa. Have owned concours 1400 yes very good powerful highway burner. Current ride Harley road king it's good as well Have done 600 plus mile days on it. 😊
As an owner of a Softail Deluxe, I'm surprised it was on this list. I would have expected the Ultra Classic, Street Glide, or Road Glide.
Cruisers are not generally comfortable for long rides. They tend to pound your spine with no weight on your feet.
The turbo busa is the perfect cross country touring machine. When you're traveling at 180 mph it won't take long to go from coast to coast anyway...
You will have to stop for gas...a lot.
Didn't think Yammie was a Rush fan. Rip Neil.
I'm still alive
@@ronin2981 LMFAO
2020 FJR1300ES is quite comfortable. I just completed 14714 miles to Anchorage, Alaska and back to SC over the past 30 days.
“The Harley Davidson can move its 700+ Lbs rider with ease.” Didn’t know harley was marketing to the 700+lb crowd.
Well it was made for Americans
@@fredfour0 lol
@@fredfour0 It's hard to fit all this freedom in a tiny European man-boy frame.
😂😂
You seen Harley riders? They all look at least 700 lbs
The Multistrada is probably my favourite of the adventure touring bikes one can get simply because it's the only one that has 17 inch wheels front and back, unlike most others with 18-21 inch wheels. It's basically a giant "supermoto" in that regard, and for that, I love it.
I sure love mine.
Indian Springfield for big American cruiser comfort. All day, every day.
Yep got a 2016 and love it. Stage 2 Cams/TAB mufflers, Arlen Ness HO filter, it will get down the road and pulls like a bull.
@@bluzzjazz , Yeah , I want to do the TAB 212 to drop the cat, but probably should wait until warranty runs out.
Kawi Concours 14 owner here.. love the upright seating and the inline 4 engine. Amazing combo!
Not just the deluxe but I'd see any of the Harley-Davidson touring lineup
As a 2003 Vfr800 owner I can validate all of what has been said. It’s an amazing bike. Took the same long distance ride on my R6 and then in my VFR and it’s a night and day difference.
My riding buddy has a VFR that he's put over a 100k miles on himself. He regularly gets on it and rides a thousand miles on a weekend. These bikes don't get much attention and are very underrated.
Connie (1400 Concours) is literally one of the best bikes I've ever owned
I’ve owned and ridden many bikes but my 2014 Triumph Tiger Explorer is the most comfortable bike for me. The stock seat sucked but a Russell Day Long cured that quickly. I’ve ridden 14 hours in one day on it twice now. Plus the sound of the triple cylinder keeps me smiling!
Why care about comfort when you have the TURBO BUSA🔥🔥🔥
Parth Jain BUSA FO LIFE
Oh how it brings me joy and hope in the desperate cold winter of Canada knowing Yammie finally has a much deserved Busa.
I had the BMW 1200 LT (Light truck), the bike that became the 1600. Once the 1600 came out, the value of the 1200 took a beating. There are some great deals to be had on these used and for touring, you won't be disappointed. I never had a single repair to do on mine. The design didn't change, so get a 2002, nobody knows it isn't a 2014.
The design did change post 1999 and it did not "become" the 1600. That is a totally different bike albeit still a touring bike. One major design change in the 2000 on bikes was the electric lift. The rake was changed as was the engine power output. There are probably many more on the bike that the "design didn't change"!
The most comfortable tourers were the loop frame Moto Guzzis of the 70's. The Ambassador 757cc could cruise at 90mph for hours. It held the 24 long distance record for several years. None of the other bikes could match it's distance even though they were faster as they had to stop too often to refuel. It's record wasn't broken until the Kawasaki Z1 900 came along.
Just discovered this video, I can't find the record you're referring to being held by Guzzi. 1973 was a z900 . If you average the highest speed you traveled the farthest. Curious where you found the information.
Most comfortable bike I've ever ridden? My 2000 Yamaha Road Star MM Ltd., 1600cc V2, gobs of torque and enough hp to blast through traffic quite nicely, monoshock softtail and wide glide front end tuned to feel like your riding the two wheeled equivalent of a '59 Cadillac (insanely smooth and plush), awesome rider ergonomics (forward mount floorboards, 26" seat height, wide comfortable bars), and literally the plushest saddle ever made! It's the bulletproof cruiser HD *wants* to make...in fact, Harley sued Yamaha over this very bike's engine, saying Yamaha plagerized the design...HD lost, and the mighty Road Star series still cruises onward!
I had a 1100 v star and loved it. Sometimes I wish I had upgraded to a road star, instead of my sportster.
I'm amazed by how well Yammie can make bike advertentions LOL
I can attest that the Indian Chief is extremely comfortable for long distance touring with plenty of power (100+bhp) and great gas mileage (40+ mpg). I traded a Gold WIng in on this Indian and it compares well on distance riding. Where the 'Wing shines is two-up touring with lots of luggage.
The Softail Deluxe?? how about an Ultra Classic or Road King
LandLockedSailor69 my exact thoughts. He’s probably never even seen a cvo ultra classic and how many comfort iteams it has
I have a Softail heritage and she is super comfy. But also close to 750 lbs.
My next will be an EVO Heritage love them but the video was comfortable motorcycles. sorry while the a lot if bikes can feel good your not gonna out comfy the extra large touring bikes no matter who makes them
The whole touring line of Harley are super comfortable.
@@bobbyromo69 $50,000 for a Harley? I do not think so.
The 2 most comfortable of the many I’ve owned: #2 is my 2012 HD CVO Ultra & #1 is my 2019 BMW K1600B. The Indian Chief is down at about #6 or 7. I just can’t get a saddle that works well on that Indian. I hear the new model Chieftain & Challenger are pretty good.
Great video Brother! Keep up the good work. For those not wanting to spend $20K+. My Yamaha Super Tenere is amazingly comfortable on long trips at almost 1/2 the cost of the BMWs and Harley’s. It comes with ABS/Traction Control, Cruise Control etc and I get the benefits of being on or off road as well. The other added benefits is one of the best dealer networks across the US and around the world paired with an awesome group of owners who are always ready to help other out.
Yammie: “Harley’s are worth their weight in comfort”
Me: * crys in Sportster 48 where a full tank only gets you 70 miles but you’re just happy to get off for 10 minutes and stretch your legs *
Lmao for some reason my 883 has the 1.75 peanut tank also. The gas light is part of my daily routine
I can only do circles around gas stations for afternoon cruises on Sportster ’72😂
NOt when AMF made them.
Could be worse, With a Live wire, Not only do you get about 80 miles of range on the highway you also get the anxiety of trying to figure out where there's a charger that you're not going to spend all day at
@@mrspeigle1 I'd love to test ride a Livewire, I think they'd be a lot of fun... but I wouldn't get one for this reason, I just don't think the infrastructure is there yet.
I ran a KLR 650 for a year. It was very comfortable to ride. Built like a rolls Royce's engine too.
Comfort is always a very subjective subject. Some people consider cruisers with forward controls the ultimate but to me that is a torture test. The water skiing position with 90% of your weight on your tailbone and no way to lift yourself up on the pegs while riding is close to being on a torture rack in my opinion. And yes I have owned a V rod, Dyna wide glide and Sportster 1200 Custom so...
Yep. I rode a GL1800 Goldwing for 11 years, and my friends just shake their head when I tell them my current Yamaha FJR1300 is more comfortable -- for me. But I have a bad back that hates sitting upright for mile after mile. The forward lean with my feel under me is very comfortable. Sitting bolt upright, especially with my feet way forward, is, as you say, torture.
Add to the list the Suzuki VanVan 200. I used to ride years ago but injured tailbone severely to the point I needed surgery. I thought I would never ride again 😢 Then i started seeing adverts for the VanVan and without any logical reasoning I went to test ride it. It was the most comfortable motorcycle I've ever ridden! And then it rode better than my Katana. I went on to discover how amazing scramblers are, how stable they are, how they can take anything.
Nothing is more comfortable than a gold wing.
U would be wrong, Ive had many bikes Inc the wing, but out of all the bikes I've had for comfort was a Royal Star venture 1300, the seat is much more comfy than the 2010 wing, by far, for sports touring was a busa, before that the rf 900 had a lovely wide seat. Just being honest. This is if your talking just about comfy. That was for my height at 5ft 9,
@@jaymorris3468 there is nothing at all uncomfortable about a Goldwing seat I have heard the seats were designed orthopedically I can't prove it but I've sat on one it is Cushy. I'm just saying.
@@garyhughes9649 I never said it was uncomfortable, it's just not as comfy as the RSV, imo
got older and the cyclinder positions didn't allow me to stretch out. Cramping. went to a Kaw Nomad vulcan great for my legs but I wish it had the GW ride and handling.
BMW GS
V-Strom is the poor man's Caddy. Absolutely love mine.
Looking for this reply, I have an 06, Next to a Goldwing I can see how anything can be as comfortable, just enough protection in the rain and will cruise at 80-85 all day long on the highway. super reliable and a fraction of the cost of those on this list.
@@SuperSerenity44 Absolutely, I have an 06 as well. I'm just tickled every time I get on it.
I have had my C-14 since 2010, love that bike AND this last week I picked up a 2020 R 1250 GSA. I have only manged to put a few hundred miles on it, as the weather has sucked.. but so far.. just flat amazing.
100%
Add this one to your list of BEST cruisers!
YAMAHA VSTAR 1100
Low seat height
I can cruise 400 miles in a day, and be ready again come morning.
Great all around bike, tuns and twisties to long cruises
Love my bike!! Alot of my friends who have Harleys just kinda shake their head and wonder WHY they spent 10k more than they needed to, AND many have said, lamenting...its better than theirs. .lol
I've owned those harleys and now I have a goldwing and I'm never going back. A goldwing is in a class all by itself there really no comparison to it and there are no competition for it. And for you naysayers I do a lot of long distance running for years and I do know what I'm talking about.
Most large ADV bikes are more comfortable than Cruisers. I’d take the R1250GS over any other bike on that list.
Harley Davidson boy here. n4 is one hell of a bike.
Yes, you pick on us cruiser bros a lot, but it's all in good fun, you crotch rocket maniac! ahahah
I have a 48
Haha hell yeah, Harley owner here. Nothing but love for the yams
@@HighTensionWire yes man u know how it is!! I uploaded a video of my 48 on my TH-cam , check it out
@@MegaMarlon0123 nice. I myself have a highly costumized softail, it was gifted to me by my riding mentor, a former 1%er, with the promise of never selling it, and riding it untill my hair go gray.
@@undead9999 amazing!!
I own a concourse14 2014. It's an outstanding motorcycle in every respect. All stock, with a slip on. I Will say it's not as comfortable as you claim. Comparatively to some bikes yes that is probably true. It is a hell of a performer and an absolute joy to ride. Bike is skimming the front end in the first two gears. On the track it shifts out of 2nd at 100mph, with 4 more to go. Stable in the wind, pillions enjoy it too. Would recommend, but don't expect a lazy boy. I'd say it's comfort increases with speed lol. Everytime i get off it I think, " I'm selling this for a gold wing," OR," I'm selling this for a zx14," then I wind up just keeping it because it's great. LOL
The K1600 is definitely at the top of the coast to coast sport touring food chain - a powerful, comfortable long distance shark!
@jaxxsun A thin dealer network is a real issue for sure, but it just means longer tow truck trips if you break down (same 0$ if you have roadside assistance insurance). Of course anything can go wrong, anytime, with any bike, but German engineering and routine maintenance make K16's relatively worry free.
The H-D Deluxe was the right answer and the only bike out of the 7 that doesn't look like a dog's breakfast wearing a car radiator.
The Honda Pan European 1100 was awesomely comfortable. I could do a five hour ride without discomfort.
Thank you for shouting out Neil! Truly underated musical genius. R.I.P 🤘🏼good video too man love your content 🏍️
I love these kinds of TH-cam videos, you can't possibly tell me you have tried out every possible "comfortable" bike out there given you don't even mention the Victory Vision! It is hands down the most comfortable bike on the road particularly if your over 6ft tall. Front to back floorboards and super comfortable seat. With 1730cc (106ci) ABS heated seats/handgrips power windshield and linked breaking you don't get better than that. If you've never ridden one you can't comment. Many many Harley riders who take one for a spin never go back.
thanks T V you answered my question ….6'3"
Yes, the Victory Vision was amazing, but it's extinct. I think this conversation confines itself to currently available machines.
@@DoesMamaKnow They are still available on the used market and my above post was over 2 years ago.
It's crazy that you choose a deluxe from Harley-Davidson.. I would have went the ultra limited.
Where’s the Victory Vision? I rode mine from San Diego to SLC to Sturgis back to SLC and then rode home to Massachusetts. Not one problem…super comfy!
The 2021 950 Ducati Super sport S. Insane comfort and excellent handling 👌
I own a 2018 Kawasaki Vulcan S 650 and for me, a small guy, it fits me like a glove and sits low and very comfortable on long rides.
That's dope man, is it reliable?
For the squids who don't have 10k $ and want to enjoy the cruiser life + speed, I suggest the kawasaki vulcan. A cruiser with a sport engin and 3 sit position I believe it's pretty dammed good. For beginners the vulcan s does a good job for it's 650 cc
Vulcan S. There are real cruiser Vulcans as well..
I just got my ‘85 goldwing back and can’t wait to see how many miles I rack up this year
I really love my 2012 Yam FJR 1300. Longest one day trip I did was around 450 miles. The ride height is a little tall for my stubby legs, and my right leg did have some joint pain (mostly because I'm old with bad joints), but the ride was great. It has loads of power to spare, some nice features (newer models have more) and it can lean. It'll tear up the curves, power down the straights, and haul the rider, passenger and lots of stuff a long way.
@@kencoker639 WA State Patrol uses Honda ST1300PA bikes.
@@kencoker639 Yes, Washington State Patrol, USA. Our law enforcement is pretty standardized with regard to vehicles. I'm a bit surprised Australia would have such variety in LEO bikes.
MT-09 is super comfy for me. I can easily flat foot it and the seat is comfy as hell. Good ergos. Good performance.
"Go anywhere and find a GW churning away". Sure, and open every 3rd garage and find one rotting away...
There isn't a Ducati made that you would ever want to ride for more than 30 minutes.
ill never stop trying to sell people on the suzuki boulevard lineup. just ride one. one of the top cruisers in its class.
I have owned a 2004 Heritage Softail and a 1983 Goldwing and the Harley was far more comfortable,although slow.
I had (still have) a 89 Goldwing and and 03 heritage softail at same time. The GL is way more comfortable, fantastic (flat 6 ! ) engine and handles better than my HD. Loved the HD for its soul, and more an everyday fun bike in comparison.
I honestly expected way more cruisers and full dresser touring bikes,those things are really comfortable. I have a cruiser,and out of four bikes I rode so far,it's the most comfortable one.
You forget that Harleys are clout machines of the cruiser world. Everyone knows they are the best looking and it’s like owning a Ducati, “wow that guy can afford a Harley”
Sportsters really aren't that expensive...
@@kogasoldier9379 I agree, Harleys aren't that expensive as people think. Plus they have a huge aftermarket of parts where you can customise your bike, although that would get expensive quick.
Picked up an 17 year old harley for cheap, with some mechanical skills and some repairs its runs great. Definitely not for everyone though
The multistrata will need service before your ass gets sore. I usually rent a Harley Bagger in Vegas for a few days in the winter and no issues driving all day.
A Harley is obnoxiously expensive here in Canada
I rode a 1990 Goldwing a few times. Like a Cadillac. Low center of gravity, great seat, perfect bars, adjustable height windscreen.
With the exceptions of the Goldwing and Soft Tail, you and I have diametrically opposed definitions of "comfort."
Goddammit Yammie, I always told myself I’d be a one bike guy, but you’ve convinced me. *Busa shopping intensifies*
Well done Yammie. RIP Neil - you gave so much to the world. F cancer.
I've ridden a gold wing, 1100 cc four. It road like a Cadillac on two wheels, but they are expensive unless it's got a ton of miles on it. I also like the first gen Valkyrie.
You overlooked perhaps the most comfortable, the Harley Electra Glide.
Ya I couldn't believe they chose the softail custom as the comfort offering from Harley. Plenty comfy and I really enjoy my heritage but any Glide makes it look like a chopper lol
RIP Nile Pert guess god needed a new drummer.. but all of Canada is now getting a snowstorm from our tears evaporating into the sky...
Sorry my dude - being Canadian - I have to say... It's Peart... And I love your idea as to why we're getting shit-rocked by this snow. You're the man!! Also - Ghost Rider... Check it out brother!
Must be a lot of tears for Neal, still getting buried in Ontario
I'm north of Windsor and it just switched to rain.. but what a sad start to the year, first Gord in 2018 now Neil. As a Canadian and a musician it makes me tear up boy's. I don't think he smoked much after he became buddist but I'm burning some homegrown in memory of the greatest drummer of all time!!
Cheers for the Neil/Rush shoutout. I'm about to get started on his book Ghost Rider, which chronicles his journey (pretty sure it was an 1150, not 1100). He wrote several other books too, he was quite well traveled. Gone too soon. Rush has been a favorite of mine for a long time, and I'm super grateful to have been able to see them on their final tour. RIP to The Professor.

RIP to the most innovative drummer in modern times
The Goldwing, and GLs of the last 20 years, are amazing machines. That motor is amazing. However, after 3 different rentals in 3 different states in last 10 years, I can’t recommend it for comfort. Hard seats don’t bother me, but if you over 6 feet tall, the inability to move your feet/legs in different potions is a deal breaker. The GL is low for sure, but the position of that 6 cylinder motor has my legs spread out like I’m at a gynecologist table. A old Honda tech told me years ago, “anyone can ride the ‘wing… but if you’re over 5’10, good luck”. But damn, that smooth awesome delivery of power on the GL is just amazing. There might not be a perfect motorcycle .. but it’s fun searching for one .
Silverwings ?
I didn't like sitting on a Goldwing for the reason you mentioned, can't move your feet. But I put tons of miles on my Valkyrie, the styling allowed for highway pegs and relocation of the stock pegs. I miss my fat lady.
VFR 750 was one of the best bikes I have ever owened and I have owned 3 of them :)
Harley Davidson's Ultra Classic and Limited should definitely be on this list.Only down side is the weight.
My brother, on his Ultra Classic, can't run as long or as far as I (and the wife on the back) can on our Indian Roadmaster - test ride one - or don't - you'll want one!
I have owned and driven a Suzuki Vstrom 1000 on long hauls and it was amazingly comfortable, with stock seat.
I've owned a 2006 vstrom 1000, i put 30k on it, yes it's comfortable. I currently own a 2018 vstrom 1000 I'm planning a 2000 mile trip this summer with it.
I looked all over...and bought an Indian in 2013. The big boy. Had it souped up a smidgeon...and goodness that was my bike til I got married. I usta LOVE getting on the onramp of an Interstate and hit 2nd gear, twist the throttle to the stop, hit 3rd...just SCREAMING and be going 90 mph in no time flat. Loved that bike.
My 2014 Honda 1300 CTX Deluxe is a VERY comfortable bike to ride. You can almost fall asleep riding if your suspension is adjusted right. It's not a Goldwing, but very comfortable for the long haul.
Yammie, Bro... come on man... how do you call yourself Yammie, and not include a Yamaha on this list. Have you never been on a Royal Star Tour Deluxe, or a Venture? If not, get with me bro. It’s definitely a comfortable cruise.
Suzuki C90T. Comfortable. Owned 2 for 20 years. Road cross country.
My Vulcan 900 Classic LT is like riding a Lay-Z-Boy down the highway
I have a 2010 Triumph Tiger 1050 SE and it is the most comfortable bike I've owned to do 6 hours plus riding on. Even with the stock seat. Plus at 115 hp, I can ride in groups with Ducati and Super Sport guys and have no problem keeping up. Super comfortable bike!!
Let’s not forget, The Yamaha FJR 1300. It has a windscreen that raises and Lowers with the push of a button, among other comfort amenities.
@@bernardbober7300 The '16 and newer FJR1300ES is an amazing high speed comfortable bike with a 6-speed it's hardly breathing at 80 mpr
Also like kawi concours had upright seating very comfortable long rides. Not to mention both smooth powerful and reliable as anvils. Things harley was not is not and never will be with 100 yr old designed v twin push rod air cooled engine.
@@RT22-pb2ppOh yeah? Well you tell me pal, can that riceburner cultivate a field of turnips?

The Harley's are mostly all comfortable I has a 1972 FLH a 2001 Road King FLHRCI and a 2002 Softtail FLSTC all are comfortable even my 72's old buddy seat is great. .
lisar3006 I have a 2011 Road Glide, I think it is very comfortable, Harley has everyone beat with foot placement on floorboards and highway pegs! My leg is never bent uncomfortably back like on beemers, I know I own a 1200 RS bmw, good for short rides only!
I have throw out the Triumph Tiger 800. Mine is super comfy, you know how smooth those triples are, and it has most of the creature comforts of a big GS. In fact, it beats out my VFR800 for long trip comfort.
I have a Vulcan 900 and I gotta say as long as you're doing less than 70 it's incredibly comfortable. After 70 it starts vibrating pretty bad though.
vulcans are beautiful
@@creed7970 I absolutely love mine. It's a great bike. Not a huge fan of the "chopper style" front wheel but when I have the money I intend to switch out for spokes and white walls.

@@sander1305 sounds awesome man. Hopefully I get to ride one some day.
VFR800 is where it's at. This hammie spudlet rockets through the twistys and cruzes at comfort on my 2014. Best bike ever owned for the road. So versatile. You can pick up chicks (no paniers) or the groceries (with paniers) at will. Nvr getting rid of. Yeeeeh.
All I know is that my Suzuki C90 is very comfortable. Plenty of power, not equipped with much extra like abs or electronic goodies but a solid well made machine none the less
I can't imagine a cruiser being comfortable. I had one. Never again. Felt like I was sitting in my car without a backrest. Slouched over, back hurt, good times.
With my moto guzzi stelvio 1200 8v, i can ride up to 600km with its 32l tank capacity. And its just super comfortable. Windshield, 43l side cases, 56l top case, enough space for 1 month.
IMO; missing the Victory Vision which is the only lean- back riding position bike that can handle well in curves. After more than half a century with my ass on a bike, it's the only that allows me to move all that I want while doing my iron butt rides.
R.I.P Neil Peart: Legend
Everyone sleeps on just how comfortable Triumph's Speed Triple really is. For us 6-footers, seat height and ergs are perfect. And no clip-ons here; as sporty as this thing looks, the riding position is more upright than most bikes.
But the proof is in the pudding.
I took my 2000 Speed Triple from Minneapolis to San Francisco in four days to start a West Coast Road trip two years ago. Averaging over 650 miles per day on that opening stretch, I hopped off that puppy every evening none the worse for wear. Total trip distance was 5,500 miles (north to Seattle, then east back to Minneapolis), and I would do it again on that bike in a heartbeat.
Sport touring, baby! 😁👍
Little surprised the FJR isn't on the list. Having owned both a Concours and FJR, the FJR, in my opinion, is by far more comfortable to tour on.
I laughed a little too hard at the ATGAT brigade
"People in Ninja 250's"
That is so me
NOTHING beats a modern Goldwing! Sits like an office chair, handles like a 600cc racing bike! Has everything including an airbag!
I hear the Guzzi California 1400 Touring SE is super comfy, due to a great seat, great suspension and super smooth transmission.
Yam as an adventure rider and rush fun I am both grateful and surprised you mentioned Neil Peart. A lot of us talk about Ewan but Neil was an avid Adventure rider as well... Would be great to do a tribute video to him now that you have a adventure motorcycle as well.
I've ridden several of these bikes and I'm reminded that the Maxi scooters are very comfortable. I recently sold a comfortable Burgman 400, but I kept an even more comfortable Helix 250, whose seat is more comfortable!
My Kawasaki Vulcan Nomad is awesome for touring and low speed maneuvering. Retired motor officer always on a KZ1000 initially and then a Road King, the Nomad kicks all their butts.
You reviewed the wrong Softail. I currently own a 2018 Softail Heritage Classic 114, which is basically the same as the Deluxe but with bags, a windshield, cruise control, and ABS. The bigger engine has about 105ish hp. It’s an awesome bike.
I agree, I have a Softail heritage and it's super comfy.
14 years and 158.000 km and counting, my Suzuki V-Strom still makes me smile when going for a ride.
Thank you for mentioning "The Professor" Neal Peart !!!!
Papa yam n jam, after being a sub for over a month I'm finally getting my first bike(125 uk) thought you both would be proud lol
The Suzuki Burgman 650 is extremely comfy
don't even have to shift gears
