Here are top five reasons why tourers are different from “enthusiasts”:

1. Tourers want vehicles which are comfortable rather then something fast but one can sit in/on it for more than half an hour.

2. Tourers like vehicles which can sustain long term moderate strain; after all, for how long in most of your touring expedition do you drive/ride at 90% of the capability of your vehicle.

3. Tourers prefer usability over looks; after all how good is a good looking convertible or single seat sports bike if it can’t even carry couple of day’s worth of cloths and essentials?

4. Performance on paper is not the only criteria, after all what good is the 0-60 timing if you have to change gears every time you need to overtake a truck on the highway?

5. Range matters more than the top speed, after all what good is a 300kmph top speed if you have to stop every couple of hundred kilometers to tank up?
