Motorcycles are versatile vehicles. With them, it's possible to reach places that larger vehicles can't. But do you know which are the best motorcycles for riding in the city and on the highway?

After all, there are places that pickup trucks, cars, and trucks can't reach, and the best part is that motorcycles can be used for both work and leisure. So, it's important to have a versatile model that meets your needs!

With that in mind, we've selected 10 models that can be used for everyday errands, but also provide comfort and safety for tackling long distances on highways. 

So, if you're looking for a versatile motorcycle, read today's article before making a purchase. Also, learn about some of the features motorcycles should have to perform well.

Check out the best motorcycles that can be used for both dual-purpose driving on city streets and highways. We're talking about lightweight, powerful, and comfortable models.

Furthermore, they should be somewhat spacious and ensure stability, as well as being able to support a certain load, especially if the trip is shared with another person (and with backpacks).

Also consider the motorcycle's technologies: ABS brakes and traction control, for example, which make all the difference to the vehicle's performance and your safety.

Finally, choose a model that offers good fuel economy (and doesn't have a very small tank) and sufficient power, as this feature is important when traveling.

Let's start with this true warrior from the three-tuning-fork brand. Today, the Fazer 250 is in its third generation, and anyone who rides it quickly falls in love. It's a very comfortable motorcycle.

Furthermore, it's economical and has the size and technology of a larger motorcycle. It features a two-level seat, LED headlight, and ABS braking system with disc brakes on both wheels. And as if that weren't enough, it's also flex-fuel.

It has excellent responsiveness and agility for heavy traffic and reaches cruising speeds on the highway. With a ceramic-coated cylinder, it doesn't overheat the rider's legs, making the ride much more pleasant. 

Here we have the Yamaha Fazer's biggest rival for over a decade. In the mid-2000s, the debate was: Which of the two is better? The Twister was replaced by the CB300 and now it's back with more onboard technology. 

Honda's remarkable little bike also features a flex-fuel engine, ABS brakes, and LED lights. The new color scheme gives the motorcycle a more aggressive look. 

However, there is one point that has bothered many people since its launch, which was also present in the CB300 and has not disappeared in its return: The noise from the transmission.

We've heard reports of people who didn't buy the motorcycle because of that noise. Aside from that, the Twister admirably performs its job of riding in the city and on the highway without any problems. 

The Yamaha Lander recently underwent a redesign and received an innovative ABS braking system that only acts on the front wheel. 

Specifically aimed at motorcyclists who use it for work and leisure, the seat has become more anatomical and the look is more modern and sporty. The engine is the same one used in the Fazer.

However, the transmission and gear ratios are different, prioritizing torque and power over speed. The Lander is also flex-fuel and features LED lights, occupying the space left by the discontinued Ténéré 250.

Due to its softer suspension and mixed-use tires, the motorcyclist can even venture onto dirt roads or unstable surfaces without major difficulties. 

The Honda XRE was born after the discontinuation of the Tornado 250 with the aim of being more modern and comfortable, and it truly achieved its goal. At the end of 2018, it underwent a visual restyling.

In addition, it gained a new fuel tank and LED lights. The 300cc engine has excellent torque and acceleration. It also ensures good response when downshifting.

Its suspension literally ignores speed bumps, potholes, and even some rough terrain. However, to ride it safely and firmly, you need to be at least 1.70 meters tall, as it's a tall motorcycle. 

The Kawasaki Versys-X inherited the engine from the "extinct" Ninja 300! Although the model has a more off-road focus, it's a good option for those who like motorcycles but are still hesitant to take them on the highway. 

With the Versys-X 300, the motorcyclist can initially get used to riding in urban centers before tackling the open road. 

Thus, with spoked wheels, a two-level seat, and standard luggage racks, the motorcycle is a great option for safe travel or even for commuting to work. 

With the arrival of the Ninja 400, there's been a lot of talk about the arrival of a Versys 400. But so far nothing has been confirmed by the manufacturer!  

For those who can spend a little more money and enjoy not only a stylish look but also a more exclusive lifestyle, the BMW G310 R is a great choice. 

This is one of the best motorcycles for riding in the city and on the highway. As the name suggests, it has a 310cc engine producing 34 horsepower, which is quite a lot for a vehicle that weighs less than 200 kilograms. 

With a comfortable seat, complete dashboard, and BMW-style paint job, it closely resembles its larger siblings and can be used in a variety of ways. Those who ride it approve. 

And let's continue with BMW. The 310 GS uses the same base as the R version but is larger, taller, and also comes standard with a luggage rack.

The engine is the same, but with a larger front wheel and long-travel suspension, the G310 GS can handle different types of terrain more easily. 

As you can see, it is entirely inspired by its bigger sister, the BMW R 1250 GS, known for its versatility and functionality.

Although it is slightly more expensive than the naked version, it is the German manufacturer's best-selling entry-level model.

The Royal Enfield Himalayan was a pleasant surprise to the Brazilian motorcycle market. It's the brand's first trail bike in Brazil and uses a brand-new 411cc engine. In addition, it boasts a retro look.

So when you look at it, you can only love it or hate it. There's no middle ground. Although it has a classic appeal, the model features cutting-edge technology. ABS brakes, a complete instrument panel, and even a digital compass are standard features.

The windscreen, which many might consider a detrimental aesthetic, is a great help on the road. Therefore, this model is another excellent option among motorcycles suitable for both city and highway riding. 

The KTM Duke 390 is ideal for those who like to accelerate cautiously. 

The model has a more sporty design and, like MotoGP racing models, the "small" bike features a trellis frame to prevent twisting and provide more stability to the rider.

With a digital dashboard, sport suspension, and Bluetooth connectivity, it can be used without difficulty in urban centers and is literally more than adequate on the roads, especially the most winding ones. 

Well, the Yamaha MT-03 uses the same base as the R3 sportbike, and like the Duke, it reaches higher speeds than the other models we've presented. 

Although it has a sporty appeal and functionality, it is lightweight and agile, which ensures a smooth ride in the city. 

Featuring an instrument panel with an analog tachometer and digital speedometer, it prepares motorcyclists who aim to ride sport models from the brand in the future, such as the R6 or the classic R1. 

Because it has two cylinders, it offers less vibration and more comfort on the road. It's a model that deserves a standing ovation.

Although many people consider motorcycles dangerous, the feeling of freedom they provide is undeniable. Not to mention the savings and convenience they offer their owners. 

Many manufacturers targeting this audience already produce motorcycles for both city and highway riding. 

With the drop in job opportunities during the pandemic, there was a surge in demand for motorcycles. Besides being inexpensive and economical, they can also be used for both work and leisure!
