So what is the best vehicle for touring?
So what is the best vehicle for touring?
Too many people delay an adventure trip because they "do not have the right vehicle". My advice is that you plan your trip around the vehicle you have as long as you have maintained it in good mechanical condition and the route allows for technical support in the event your vehicle requires maintenance. People enjoy adventure trips using anything from an old Toyota Corolla to expensive overland vehicles.
The best advice I can provide was covered by Stuart Fillingham in his YouTube video "Which is the best touring Motorcycle for 2020?"
