Long motorcycle rides are fun. Sore backs and a numb rear end aren’t. Victory Motorcycles address this issue with their 2010 lineup of touring bikes. This version, the Cross Country, offers great power, light weight, and more importantly, a comfortable ride for those long journeys. The Freedom engine offers 92 hp and 109 lb-ft of torque for quick accelerations and hauling power. A class-leading 4.7″ of travel from the suspension absorbs the impact so you and your passenger enjoy a smooth ride. There’s 21 gallons of cargo space, an integrated audio system (with iPod support), and an automatic cruise control to further enhance the riding pleasure. $20,000.

Bavarian automakers BMW once again slaps its badge to a two-wheeled vehicle. This new cross-country mountain bike features a suspension system that can rival the comfort of BMW’s four-wheeled products. Featuring an aluminum frame, Manitou front and rear suspensions, and the precision-engineered Shimano Deore XT mountain bike system for quick reaction and top-shelf performance. The front and rear suspension gives almost 4 inches of travel so your bike, or your bones, won’t disintegrate after those boulder jumps. Though the bike is not shipping currently outside of Europe, keep those American fingers crossed that the bike will be available across the Atlantic. ~$4,000.
