Re: Duke 200 or Rc200

Mojo is standard???No way.Mahindra itself marketed as Tourer.Infact it is a tourer my frined.

RE is a tourer but definately not the best tourer.

HD is not a tourer.I disagree with it.Isnt the Road king a touring bike?Yes some by HD are cruisers but not all.

However the point was someone wanted to know if Duke is a tourer bike.And under no circumstances its a tourer.

In simple words

Cruiser Motorcycle- A cruiser is a motorcycle in the style of American machines from the 1930s to the early 1960s,The riding position usually places the feet forward and the hands up, with the spine erect or leaning back slightly.


Tourer Motorcycle - A touring motorcycle is a type ofmotorcycle designed for touring. Although any motorcycle can be used for this purpose, manufacturers have developed specific models designed to address the particular needs of these riders.Touring motorcycles commonly have large displacement fairings and windshields that offer a high degree of weather and wind protection, large-capacity fuel tanks for long ranges between fill-ups, engines with a great deal of low-end horsepower, and a more relaxed, upright seating position than sport bikes.

Re: Duke 200 or Rc200

So tomorrow someone takes an R1 and rides in city then its a Commuter!
I really can't help much if you have set your mind in it.

Re: Duke 200 or Rc200

Any bike can be used for touring if the rider wishes it to, i personally know a guy who covered some 1500Km on a splendor with a pillion, whether it was built for that purpose is another story but if a bike isn't built like a tourer doesn't necessarily mean it can't be used as one.

Re: Duke 200 or Rc200

It seems you are not understanding what I am trying to do here. I agree with you but at the same time I am correcting you as well.

Your categorization of RE and Mojo are Wrong. RE is a cruiser not a tourer. Mojo is a Roadster not a tourer irrespective of what Mahindra has marketed it for. Majority of Harleys are cruisers not Tourers. Theres only 2-3 models they have that are Tourers.

Also like I said everything in the biking world is subjective. Just because a bike wasnt designed to do something doesnt mean the owner of the bike will not use it for that something. Like you said, if an Owner of R1 decides to ride his R1 as a Commuter then he will ride it as one. Who are you to stop him from doing so?

But anyways, we have derailed the thread enough, lets not discuss it further.

Re: Duke 200 or Rc200

Just as you mentioned everyone's subjective about it so am I.
If I think it's not a tourer than its not.for me a tourer bike is different.let's stop this discussion here sir as it going way out of topic
