Norge hands down. The only mod I have made to mine (2011) is adding a CalSi windscreen. A little over two years ago did a 700 mile day showing an avg. speed of 76mph and that figured in a short lunch break and two gas stops. I was 67 at the time. It it eats lots of miles, burps and asks for more.

Totally individual on how you ride, two up or solo, interstate pounding miles or secondary roads. I don't take any joy in riding interstates for any distance
any more. I'd rather travel in my van or car for that kind of trip. I prefer secondary and tertiary roads, max of 350 miles per day and off the bike by
4:00 to grab a room or set up when camping. The V 85 fits the bill for me, my best modification is adjustable air spoiler on tall OEM screen to clean up
air flow, OEM hand warmers and aftermarket header heat shields and skid plate. I prefer soft luggage and 80/20 tire for gravel or busted up pavement.
If you are a highway high mileage 500 + miles a day guy, Norge with Stelvio coming second. Cruiser type bikes have never interested me so I can leave
no comment regarding those.

Based on doing the “touring” thing for 50years, I have come to the conclusion that it’s much more about endurance, conditioning and seats, than what type, size, make or style, motorcycle you have mounted.
Heck, HUZO crossed Australia on a little Honda pop cycle😂

If you've not be out & about for a while, even 50miles can feel like a Japanese game show. :bike-037:
