At Heatherâs Leathers, we know that when you’re logging thousands of miles on the open road, comfort isnât a luxuryâitâs a necessity. Whether you’re planning a coast-to-coast solo cross-country motorcycle ride or cruising with friends through mountain passes, the right cross-country touring motorcycle can make or break your trip.
Here are some of the most popular and rider-approved touring cross-country motorcycles for long-distance comfortâand how custom leather upgrades from Heatherâs Leathers can make them even better.

Widely considered the gold standard in comfort touring. With its smooth flat-six engine, advanced suspension, heated seats, and infotainment, the Gold Wing is built for high-mileage days. Add custom leather backrests, grips, or tank panels to elevate both comfort and style.
đĽ Harley-Davidson Electra Glide / Ultra Limited
Iconic American touring. The Electra Glide delivers relaxed ergonomics, a plush saddle, and tons of storage. Pair it with a handcrafted leather tour-pack lid cover or saddlebag accents to make it uniquely yours.

European engineering meets rider-first design. With telelever suspension and adjustable ergonomics, the R1250RT is nimble yet long-haul capable. Add premium stitched seat overlays or leather tank guards to protect your ride and look sharp doing it.
