Ten Motorcycle Tourers

Selecting a Tourer is a very personal thing, and I'm not saying that these ten machines are the best. Some may not be still in production, but they are all available, albeit second hand.

HONDA GOLDWING GL1800

The only bit of kit that Honda's Flagship is missing is an ashtray, and they're probably working on that at the moment. This bike has been around a long time in one guise or another, but you only have to see the number of owners clubs and members to realise that its popularity isn't waning yet. A high-tech aluminium chassis keeps the weight down, providing a surprising turn of speed. This is the ultimate tourer, but just too bulky looking for some people.

BMW K1200LT

Although still quite heavy, this bike is more economical than the Goldwing. Looking around, it seems to be one of the most popular tourers around and rightly so if it's power you want, but it needs a little care on the twisties. Newer models are fitted with a reverse gear.

HARLEY DAVIDSON ELECTRA GLIDE

It's big, it's brash and it's American. Definitely built for comfort, not speed, but will turn more heads than you can shake a stick at. 110mph from a 1449cc engine says it all. One of the advantages of owning this machine is the minimal depreciation, and you're always going have something to talk about to any passing stranger.

TRIUMPH TIGER TOURER

Oodles of acceleration, limited vibration and a truly versatile character. But having said that, if you're on the short side, forget it. Being a shorty myself, I think it's a shame that motorcycle manufacturers exclude a huge section of potential customers by having a high seat. However, the taller motorcyclists I know assure me that this is an exceptional bike. I'll just have to take their word for it.

HONDA ST1300 PAN EUROPEAN

This is one of the most silky, comfortable, fast machines you're ever likely to have the pleasure of putting your bum on. Even with two up it handles superbly. If you're thinking about buying a tourer, this has to be worth considering.

YAMAHA FJR1300

This shaft driven offering from Yamaha was specifically built with touring in mind. The huge capacity tank and hard luggage are just part of the deal. Loads of power from the reliable engine will get you out of trouble, but that doesn't mean it's thirsty. The FJR represents value for money and I like it.

MOTO GUZZI NORGE 1200

An excellent value for money, shaft driven bike from Moto Guzzi. With a range in the region of 200 miles and a comfortable riding position, this is a true tourer. Some harshly describe this as the poor man's BMW, but let's get one thing straight; it's shaft driven, but it's not a BMW.

TRIUMPH TROPHY 1200

Sadly discontinued in 2002, the Trophy is still worth considering if you can find a decent second hand model. It's a heavy bike, but it's much cheaper than say, the Pan's and you'll still be getting a lot of bike for your money. For such a big bike, the cornering capabilities and general handling are pretty good, and you could do far worse than go for one of these, especially if you are on a limited budget.

HONDA DEAUVILLE

This mid size tourer can turn its hand to anything; ideal for commuting on a daily basis and touring across Europe, and the 54 litres of colour coded luggage will help. Low service costs and insurance group make the Deauville very attractive. The build quality of this shaft driven machine is legendary, making it high on would be adventurers' short lists.

BMW R1200RT

A faster, lighter and much welcome successor to the R1150RT, this machine is not just a good tourer, it's a good bike. One nice innovation on this bike is the height adjustable seat (there I go again). The Telelever/Paralever suspension provides excellent handling as you would expect from a BMW. Expect to pay a decent price for a second hand one, as these bikes hold their money, but if it's in good condition you're going to be the owner one nice bike.

Well, there are ten bikes for you, and they all have something to offer whatever your circumstances. If your favourite was not included, I apologise.

New Trends and Styles in Motorcycle Helmets

To the everyday man, a motorcycle is all about speed. The adrenaline rush experienced while going full throttle headily- there is nothing like it. Have you thought of a helmet then? Probably not.

Granted you might be confident as a rider, and well-trained as well, but road safety measures do not exist for nothing. You should always protect yourself form possible harm and accidents while driving, especially if you are driving a two wheeler. A helmet is the first precautionary step you can take. In crunch times it can make a difference between life and death. In fact, you need not be apprehensive about wearing one because they have become a style statement today.

New trends in motorcycle helmets are really striking today. For example, Scorpion helmets have been at the forefront of new generation motorcycle helmets and other driving-safety gear. It is not only their engineering excellence that makes Scorpion helmets stand out, it is also their innovative graphic designs. In fact the never-before graphic designs of ScorpionExo Helmets are said to be created by their designers spread the world over from Europe to Southern California. Isn't that fantastic? Which one suits your style is your choice. But we can guarantee this- You have a lot of choices.

Obviously, before buying a helmet, you would want to combine style with comfort. The first thing you should do is visit the websites of major helmet manufacturers and shortlist the ones you like, based on what you like in them. Make sure that the helmet you choose meets the specified safety standards like absorbing certain impact energy and fastening quality. Fit is another important criterion.

Try on helmets and see what fits you the best. While you can buy both helmets covering a part of your face and ones covering the entire face, and while both will protect you from the fatigue and the noise of the wind, the full faced one is more advisable since it will also prevent insects from entering the helmet. In case of a crash too, a full faced helmet is better since it protects you from the full impact of the crash. Though helmets are available in a wide variety of prices, think about your safety before you think about economy.

Most helmets today are made of state-of-the-art materials, which means that the outer shell is made of fiberglass and Kevlar matrix to withstand the highest impacts during any crash. The helmets made in the other eras were not as efficient as these because they were not wind tunnel tested and aero tuned to ensure aerodynamic superiority.

ScorpionExo helmets feature the HelmetPump which helps the riders have a perfect fit, and the advanced SpeedView feature in the face shield automatically adjusts itself according to the intensity of the sunlight. This is especially helpful when you are driving on bare stretches or in cities.

Always look for features that will provide the most of your money's worth while buying helmets, and at the same time ensure that you have maximum safety while driving.
