10 New Touring Bikes That Redefine Long-Distance Luxury In 2025

Luxury on motorcycles is a tricky affair because, unlike cars, in which the occupants sit in a protected bubble, the rider and pillion are exposed to the forces of nature. However, despite this, there are a bunch of top-spec touring bikes that redefine two-wheeled luxury and comfort. But today, luxury motorcycles are more than just plush leather seats and tall windscreens.

Motorcycle makers like Harley-Davidson, Indian, Honda, BMW, and even Kawasaki dial things up to eleven with technology features and even aerodynamic efficiency to create a “bubble” in which the rider and pillion sit unbothered by the outside world. Here are ten such ultra-luxurious motorcycles in 2025 that redefine touring luxury and comfort, and even go beyond with cool technology features.

Harley-Davidson CVO Street Glide And Road Glide

Price: $45,999

Harley-Davidson

The most expensive touring bikes on this list are souped-up versions of the standard Harley-Davidson Street Glide and Road Glide touring bikes. The CVO duo adds more comfort, luxury, and exotic appeal and is powered by a more powerful Milwaukee-Eight 121 V-twin as opposed to the standard models’ 117 V-twin. Both these Harleys are designed to gobble up miles while basking the rider in the utmost luxury and a relaxed riding stance; both have an accessible ride height of 26.7 inches.

Also, the huge fairings up front are designed using CFD for optimum aerodynamic efficiency, for elevated comfort with better wind deflection. Both of these Harleys are equipped with cool technology features and come with a massive 12.3-inch TFT touchscreen, serving as the primary control interface.

Harley-Davidson CVO Road Glide ST

Price: $44,999

Harley-Davidson

This is one of the coolest touring bikes from Harley today, because the CVO Road Glide ST fuses outright performance with mile-munching luxury and comfort. It is powered by a beastly Milwaukee-Eight 121 V-twin that produces 127 horsepower and a whopping 145 pound-feet of torque. Some cool features include a Screamin’ Eagle performance exhaust, a shorter final gear ratio, fully adjustable Showa suspension, and killer looks with carbon fiber components and sharp Screamin’ Eagle graphics across the fuel tank and the front fairing.

Specs

Elevating the comfort and lux-appeal are features like a low seat height of 26.7 inches, a scooped Alcántara seat, a large 12.3-inch TFT touchscreen that is also the window to control its cool set of electronic features like six ride modes, Apple CarPlay, cornering ABS, traction control, and Hill Hold, to name a few.

Indian Roadmaster

Price: $32,999

Indian Motorcycle

This is one of the oldest touring bikes to still exist in Indian Motorcycle’s portfolio. The Roadmaster nameplate has been around since 1947, and in 2025, it takes you right back to the good old days with its nostalgia-driven old-school design and charm. It is powered by an air-cooled 1,890 cc V-twin engine, which is adorned with chrome, and produces 126 pound-feet of torque.

Specs

While it has a strong classic appeal, this luxury touring bike hides a lot of modern technology features. Notable features include a 7-inch display powered by Ride Command, which offers GPS navigation, cruise control, Bluetooth connectivity, and more. It is designed for the long haul with lavish storage space of 36+ gallons, heated rider and pillion seats, a 600W audio system, powered windshield, and three ride modes to name a few.

Indian Pursuit Limited

Price: $31,999

Indian Motorcycle

If the aforementioned Indian Roadmaster scores high on old-school charm, the Indian Pursuit Limited balances it with a more modern powertrain and underpinning tweaks, enough to make a 900+ pound land yacht more versatile! Powered by a thoroughly modern liquid-cooled V-twin that produces 126 horsepower and 133 pound-feet of torque, this hefty Indian can truly munch down miles, fast. However, the highlighting feature is how the Pursuit Limited stitches together luxury, comfort, and versatile performance on this land yacht.

Specs

Apart from the usual comfort and convenience features that make it touring-ready, this is currently the only American touring cruiser that comes standard with Blind Spot Warning, Tailgate Warning, Rear Collision Warning, Bike Hold Control, and a combined brake system.

Harley-Davidson Street Glide Ultra

Price: $30,749

Harley-Davidson

Replacing the quite dated Ultra Limited is the all-new Street Glide Ultra, Harley’s first “modern” Ultra Cruiser, which is, again, essentially a fully dressed Street Glide. It is powered by the popular Milwaukee-Eight 117 V-twin that produces 105 horsepower and 130 pound-feet of torque. Harley has put in a lot of effort to dial up its comfort quotient with features like large fairing lowers, a tall windscreen, and a low seat height of 26.9 inches.

Specs

Technology is also used to make touring a cozy affair with optional features like heated seats and adjustable highway pegs. The best part is that this is the most affordable touring bike, complete with panniers and a top box, from Harley-Davidson.

Honda Gold Wing Tour

Price: $28,700

Honda

This is an iconic Japanese touring bike that can match the luxury appeal and legacy of American big-twin land yachts. The Honda Gold Wing Tour fuses bleeding-edge technology and long-distance comfort into one sleek and futuristic-looking package.

Specs

Powering the most luxurious Honda motorcycle is a unique boxer six-cylinder engine producing nearly 125 horsepower and 125 pound-feet of torque. It is also on the lighter side for a fully-loaded touring bike, at 845 pounds. Couple these features with its double-wishbone front suspension, a rigid chassis, and available dual clutch automatic transmission, and we have a luxury touring bike that is in a league of its own.

BMW K 1600 Grand America

Price: $28,680

BMW Motorrad

After Harley-Davidson and Indian Motorcycle, BMW offers the most extensive line-up of luxury touring bikes with its K 1600 series. But the one that dials things up to 11 is the K 1600 Grand America, the most comfortable and luxurious touring bike from BMW’s stable. It is powered by a unique, fierce, yet composed inline-6 engine that produces 160 horsepower and 133 pound-feet of torque, making it more powerful than even the track-derived H-D Road Glide ST!

Specs

The standard technology suite is impressive and significantly contributes to elevating the luxury appeal and comfort quotient of this Beamer. Notable features include a 10.25-inch TFT with connectivity and integrated map navigation, an audio system, LED headlamps with an adaptive cornering feature, four configurable favorite button clusters, three ride modes, electronic suspension, and hill start control, to name a few.

BMW R 18 Transcontinental

Price: $24,395

BMW

Greatly influenced by American old-school big-twin charm, the BMW R 18 Transcontinental is a gorgeous-looking touring bike based on a boxer-twin-powered cruiser bike. BMW has truly dialed up the comfort and lux-appeal on this tourer with features like a relaxed rider triangle, a tall windscreen, an elevated storage solution with standard side boxes and a top case, and standard back support for the pillion.

Specs

Powering the R 18 Transcontinental is a huge 1,802 cc oil-cooled boxer-twin that produces 91 horsepower and 120 pound-feet of torque, delivering it to the rear wheel via a maintenance-free shaft drive system.

BMW R 1300 RT

Price: $22,495

BMW

The newest touring bike in town that scores high on luxury and comfort is the BMW R 1300 RT. It is also a formidable sports tourer sharing its 1,300 cc boxer-twin engine with a sports bike and even a famed ADV tourer. However, it is its healthy dose of technology features that elevate the comfort and luxury side.

Specs

Notable features include keyless ride, heated grips, a smartphone charging tray with a card clip, and a relatively relaxed riding stance with a tall windscreen to protect against windblast. The optional list sweetens the deal further with features like a superior audio system, comfort passenger package, variable deflectors, adaptive chassis, and quick-release luggage system. It also comes with an adjustable seat height that can be toggled between 32.2 inches and 33.0 inches.

Kawasaki Vulcan 1700 Voyager

Price: $20,199

Kawasaki

Despite being an old and forgotten touring bike, the Kawasaki Vulcan 1700 Voyager still stands tall and valid among the new wave of tech-savvy rivals. The old-school charm of this Japanese tourer is breezy and will instantly attract someone looking for a timeless mile-muncher. It is powered by a relaxed yet modern 1,700 cc liquid-cooled V-twin producing 82 horsepower and 107.6 pound-feet of torque.

Specs

Comfort is of the highest order with the rider and pillion, saddled on plush leather, and relaxed riding postures. The pillion also gets standard back and arm support, thanks to a huge top box. This is the most affordable full-dresser available today, which significantly outclasses the big guns from Harley and Indian in terms of value.
