"I want a bike for travelling...What are my options?"

People like to use different bikes for different reasons. Whether it be for speed, comfort, racing, cruising and so on... In this blog, we're going to talk about bikes for travelling.

In this category you have two options. You can go for a tourer or a sport tourer. Here we have given a fine example of both bikes, both available at Phoenix Honda Grangemouth.

» honda vfr800 - sport tourer...
The new VRF800F is the latest incarnation of THE Honda VFR, the bike that started it all and still has a legion of fans in the UK. So what’s new – well the VFR800F’s V4-VTEC engine has received significant development, boosting low and mid-range power. 

A single exhaust replaces the original dual under-seat design, there’s a brand new single-sided swing arm, radial mounted four-piston front brake callipers and redesigned wheels. As a result the bike is a whole 10Kg lighter than its predecessor. We have also fitted our Traction Control System, ABS, self cancelling indicators, front and rear LED lights, 5 stage heated grips and a new dashboard that houses a digital speedometer, gear position indicator, fuel consumption and clock!

Highly evolved from a sports bike heritage, the VFR800 is possibly the most refined balance of explosive sports tourer performance, superb comfort and agile manoeuvrability on European roads today. Its powered by a screaming fuel-injected engine whose 2-stage valve actuation system rewards every riding style with gratifying rushes of strong, accessible power. This considerable power is harnessed in a light-handling, receptive twin-spar aluminium frame while Combined-ABS provides extra confidence on any road. 

The low, contoured seat provides an easy reach to the ground and long-term touring comfort for rider and passenger. The VFR800 represents blistering power, presented in a well-rounded and accessible package which has been winning fans for over two decades. This is a motorcycle that will enrich your life and broaden your horizons.

» honda gl1800 gold wing deluxe - tourer...

The Gold Wings unique fuel-injected flat-six engine delivers tireless performance together with incredible smoothness and minimal noise. Just as the engine enjoys a legendary reputation for reliability, so the rest of the machine is finished to the very highest standards, with outstanding build quality and paint finish. 

Meanwhile, the wind-deflecting fairing, huge carrying capacity and user-friendly features such as antilock brakes and the new, improved audio system are clear evidence of the effort and passion behind the latest evolution of this most advanced and full-featured touring motorcycle. 

The Gold Wing’s five-speed gearbox comes complete with overdrive and shaft final drive. The result is smooth power with low cruising revs, more comfort and less fuel use. The Gold Wing lets you cruise the world in style, but also in safety. Honda’s Combined Anti-lock Braking System (C-ABS) means safe handling and braking, even when fully loaded. And with Honda’s airbag system - the first on a production motorcycle, the level of protection is as impressive as the bike.


The front fairing has been designed to improve protection against wind and weather and is supported by heated handlebar grips, seats and a foot warming system. The 6-speaker 80W SRS surround system plays MP3, WMA and AAC music files and can connect to an iPod*, iPhone* or USB stick. 

The next generation Honda navigation system* has a colour screen which shows lane assist and junction view and it even works in areas with poor signal. And with over 150 litres of secure luggage capacity, large panniers, fairing pockets and top box, you can take everything you need no matter how far you’re travelling.
