The motorcycles are connected with the heart. You buy them with heart and you ride them with heart. So there is not a specific motorcycle for a specific purpose generally. Many people have been touring for decades on their favourite motorbikes no matter if its 125 cc to go to Africa and ride it from the muddy terrains, or through the deserts; or its your Honda Goldwing you use to go for a coffee on a Sunday morning. It doesn’t matter. It’s the ride itself that makes our hearts beat faster and makes us even more alive. Ride what you like and ride as far as you like. Every biker will greet another one. Always. Two fingers that save you and guard you will always be there. 

However, sometimes you might like to have a bike that is a bit more connected with the type of travel you might take and that’s when it comes to adventure bikes as the ones that “strike” the most of our minds in latest years. Certainly, they are the most suitable for motorcycle tours in Europe and we use them the most. They are powerful and versatile motorbikes, no matter if we talk of BMW, Honda, Suzuki, KTM, Triumph, Yamaha or any other. They are all exciting and you should try them all in your exciting European motorbike tours.
