Which is the best how ? Just like the Proton it never won world competition a prize , has little sales . And the name itself is used in just a few countries . Motorbikes like the Harley and the Honda have called indestructible by experts . They claimed the top spots time and time again . And the technology used to make them can stand neck in neck whit the spaceship . Other then the idiotic "what I like is best" philosophy what makes you say that your 2 bit bicycle is the best bike ?
if it's going to be a long road trip, try to get a newer model Honda Goldwing, doesn't have to have the audio and all that fancy stuff, just make sure you get the hand warmers and the seat warmers and abs brakes. Or you can go with the Harley Electra Glide, or even the Ultra Classic if you want to spend 2 grand more for extra speakers and lights. Can't go wrong with the Goldwing, I'd prefer that on a very long road trip, just very bulky.
what's with everyone recommending a sports bike for a long road trip? don't get me wrong, but that's pretty stupid. You're being cruel to yourself. Has anybody gone on a sports bike, a real sports bike for 600 miles? Try that and then see if you'll recommend it
