Even the chats/threads within the HD brand, there's contention as to which model is a beginner, girl's bike, SOA wannabe, geezer, not a true Harley (V-Rod), who's a real biker and who's not, should I wear chaps or not, do real bikers wear chaps, etc... Whew, what a soap opera!
Oh wait, my wife wears them a lot, and she can hammer down pretty well driving anything Harley makes.
But even she (a girl!) considers riding touring bikes to be much too boring to have any interest.
However, she also admits that she may want one when she gets really old, like around the time that shuffleboard and playing Bingo start to sound exciting.

Not long ago I asked my wife how would she like it if I got us a nice touring bike (butt problems, tiny pillion, always complaining, you know) her comment was, "you won't catch my *** on one" so I guess it's gonna be a glide as in super, another hot rod.....yea baby....

By the way, here's our "touring" setup. Old school. Ol' lady loves it. Also got lots of compliments from Geezerglide riders about how badass we looked going down the road, if anybody cares enough about that to want to know how to do it.
The tent, and most everything else were rolled up in the sleeping bags. You slip a plastic garbage bag over the sleeping bags if it rains while you're on the road. No big deal, if you're even slightly creative.
When we haven't taken a tent, and it rained, we draped a plastic tarp over the two bikes, and slept underneath in between them. Freakin' sissies and their land yachts!
