Touring motorcycles are the best when it comes to enjoying those long highway runs. But trikes do one better by adding an extra wheel and more seating and storage space. While trikes are notably heavier than full dressers, the three-wheeled setup helps riders forget about “balancing” the vehicle. Riding comfort, luxury, and convenience are further elevated. We have bundled ten desirable trikes that are worth every mile on the road. Among legacy manufacturers, Harley-Davidson is the only one making trikes. The others on this list include cool specimens from Can-Am and Polaris.

This list is organized in descending order of pricing, from the most expensive to the most affordable trikes that are worth every mile.
