Ever thought about crossing the country in a day…on a motorcycle? If there’s a sport touring motorcycle that could do it, it’s the Kawasaki Concours 14. It’s a behemoth of a bike with a 1352cc engine that makes 158 horsepower for a top speed of 155 mph. And with nearly 700 pounds of dry weight, it feels like a sturdy touring bike.

The saddlebags are standard equipment for the Kawasaki Concours 14, and its riding position feels much more natural than other bikes in the same classification.

Much like the Kawasaki Z1000, the 2017 BMW R1200R has the feel of a dual-purpose motorcycle. It’s a segment that BMW is very comfortable in, but this time there’s more sport mixed in. The BMW R1200R has an incredibly comfortable position for the rider and it’s further enhanced by a well-tuned suspension.

With 125 horsepower, the BMW R1200R is no slouch. Toss in the standard ABS and available traction control, and it’s one of the best sport touring motorcycles with some upper-end tools to keep you safe too.

You might not know a whole bunch about the KTM lineup, but you should get familiar with them. The KTM 1290 Super Duke GT is one of the best sport touring motorcycles with some stellar tools.

The seating position is so natural, you’ll prefer it to your couch.

Tucked into the brightly-colored frame is a 1301cc 2-cylinder that spins up 170 horsepower. With Brembo brakes and ABS, it’s a bike you’ll easily rack up the miles on.
