Top 10 Fastest Touring Bikes In The World

The common perception of touring motorcycles is that they are large boats that favor comfort over chassis dynamics and speed. That might have been the case at one point, but nowadays speed, handling, and all-day comfort are no longer strangers, today, touring motorcycles are not necessarily large and heavy, with huge fairings and couch-like seats.
Manufacturers are re-purposing sports and adventure bikes, easing riding positions, adding comfort and weather protection, and removing off-road centered features from adventure bikes, such as 21-inch front wheels, and substituting sizes for which road-specific tires are available.
