If you ask a dozen riders what bikes are great for a road trip, you are likely to get two dozen answers. If you ask a million riders the same question, a few models will begin to emerge at the peak of the bell curve. So what follows is a brief list of five bikes that I have found riders love to take on road trips. From heavyweight transcontinental living rooms to surprisingly small-displacement rigs that riders love like faithful little burros, this list has a range longer than a KLR with aftermarket fuel tanks. Road trips come in many flavors, and the machines that turn these trips into unforgettable experiences are themselves a varied bunch, sometimes with little in common on the surface.
