Ducati Multistrada / BMW GS series / Yamaha Fazer...

If on budget, then take a second-hand but loaded with accessories bike...

[superspeed123]

maybe you can tell us what type of bikes you like and what is your budget??

[Guest motofreak]

Even a honda cub can go touring. And its even rated as the WORLDS BEST BIKE..... Hhahahah... So be specific. Class 2 or 2A... Purely road touring or the best of both worlds...

[wanaero]

ok class 2 bike.. Gs and ducati is not for middle class earner.. Would prefer 20k plus..

[wanaero]

best of both world!!!

[taaouicha]

depends lah if ure not fussy and still young, use a liter bike also can go touring

 

To me i think the best bike for sg road use is a k5/k6 gsxr1000, but i loved my gsxr 400 so naturally gonna stick with suzuki

[ProFatSir]

its not the bike.its the rider.

[xXxRatedxXx]

its not the bike.its the rider.

 

Hear hear....

[wanaero]

its not the bike.its the rider.

 

So are you willing to go to cambodia on a suzuki gsx-r???

[prettymussel]

imho, i'd say probably a fazer1000 or fjr..

 

pretty affordable for middle income earner i guess.

[wanaero]

Is fazer really for touring? looks like a streetbike.. Has anyone been to cambodia on a fazer?

[scubasimon]

i think any bike can go touring...but obviously you will tour rather differently with a tw200 versus an f800gs.

 

i remember reading about someone who went to cambodia on a fazer on this forum...was it p-plater?

[wanaero]

Yes of course any bike can go the distance but can they travel on sandy road.. I ever did go to phuket with my k8 1000 and it was hard.. Back pain.. backside blister.. neck also pain..

[BlackDawn]

No doubt about it: CB750

[scubasimon]

i suppose it depends if you want to take the bike to those places...i found the blog on that ride i was talking about...it was an fz6.

Ducati multistrada and BMW F800GS both cost 20k plus second hand (a couple of years old).

you pass me the bike and all the expenses borne by you.why not?

That an old bike sia.. but nevertheless it a good bike.. Will keep it in my list...

[wanaero]

What do you think of Varadero 1000cc?? Or African Twin??

[scubasimon]

nice adventure type bikes those two...between them i think vara is the better option...then again...that is just me.

no such thing as best la, everyone got preferences. but i would stick with touring bikes, since they're meant for long distance riding and are engineered to perform that way. relaxed riding position, rev range etc.

 

i would go for a Triumph sprint ST. fantastic looking bike with a fantastic price tag.

Ducati multistrada and BMW F800GS both cost 20k plus second hand (a couple of years old).

 

Brand new F650GS is also 20K++ so it should be within your budget too...
