Particularly in USA to the motorcycle Touring or Bagger, it was referring to any touring motorcycle. A touring motorcycle is a type of motorcycle designed for travel. Although almost any motorcycle can be used for this purpose. Manufacturers have developed specific models designed to meet the specific needs of these pilots. Touring motorcycles generally have large windshields and windshields that offer a high degree of wind protection, have large capacity fuel tank, powerful engines, more relaxed riding position, have autopilot, rest pedals, and Of course, has large side and rear
upper luggage compartments, among many other typical features of the style. Tourings are high performance bikes with a very vertical and comfortable driving position.
Harley Davidson is the world champion motorcycle high peer for performances and has benefited greatly from the Baggers boom. They had been making the Bagger for decades, refining the reengineering of the machines for the best driving experience and performance. Many of the Baggers riders were already accumulating miles and adding dozens of enhancements and enhancements to their creations, always basing a Harley on the customization choices. There were always builders, such as Arlen Ness, Dave Perewitz, and Donnie Smith to name a few luminaries, who built a custom Baggers model before it was popular, but it was a small portion of its portfolio. Perhaps it was the reliability and power of the Twin Cam that opened the minds of everyone else. So it was Harley and the creative and always inspired guru Willie G. Davidson who probably launched the Begger style as we know it today. This brilliant movement legitimizes Bagger and more specifically the personalized variety. Lovers of this style can now get into any dealership and get a bike that would cost many thousands of dollars more to recreate through personalization. The immediate success of Street Glide caught the attention of other manufacturers and the most experienced after-sales companies. When the Street Glide (FLHX) was introduced the Harley Davidson already had several Touring models, with style, usually conservative in the designer, in its line of production. Just six years since the launch of Street Glide, Harley-Davidson alone has 13 distinct models of Baggers with varying degrees of accessories that can leave the store just the way the customer wants it. Harley Davidson has the longest history in the tourism industry and its bikes are the largest references, regardless of the context of style. Some references are official designations of the factory model, such as FLHX, AKA: Street Glide (FLHX was used by
HD decades ago for a limited series of Baggers Shovelheads, one of the 1960s brand classics.
But Bikers Baggers not marketed on production lines as are most motorcycles, these bikes are truly two-wheeled artwork, are produced individually at the customer's request, there are several experts in the making of these super bikes on the planet. This style of motorcycle is the most modern of bikers styles. Among the main features of the classic baggers are: the side luggage compartments are elongated and closing with the rear fenders, both almost touching the ground, large front fairing and front wheel in size larger than the rear wheel and other typical details in the fairing And accessories and mechanics. Of course the limit for creating a Bagger is the pilot's own imagination and the ability of the designer who will perform the job. In theory you can turn any bike into a Bagger, but the cost-benefit ratio makes all the difference, far beyond the financial. According to Villis Design Villis, the most popular models for Bagger customization are the Harley Davidson Street Glide, CVO and the Electra Glide and Ultra Glide, because these models have the perfect structure to withstand extreme modifications, extra weights The Baggers demand. The quality and longevity, especially of the engine, make the owner's investment not to be lost over the years, moreover, it will always remain a Harley Davidson. "Harley is the only bike in the world that transforms everything and it's still 100% Harley, it only improves, it does not lose its personality," says Villis. A common thing is that the customer who has a Harley Touring is always making modifications, changing their clothes, so he always has a new bike, without changing a bike, in fact. This is one of the hallmarks of Harley Davidson on the market as a multigeneration family passion. In Villis' words "The Harleys Touring are special, perfect for
being Baggers, they drag a Wolkswagen beetle, they are power plants, they are the motherships for the Baggers." Meet the Vilis Design- Builder specialized in Baggers motorcycles in Brazil

The idea of working with the creation of Baggers came after seeing in American magazine with bikes Baggers. He liked the style. He saw potential in this style here for Brazil, but at the time, according to Villis, the problem was that, in addition to being a novelty around here, he still had the problem of not having his own bikes for this personalization. Until a friend came along with An Ultra Glide detonated, which was perfect: "I introduced the idea of the Baggers to him, I showed him pictures and he broke the idea and decided to do it, Villis recalls. And since then Villis Design's Baggers have not stopped winning the streets and the best events in Brazil. One of the challenging and successful projects was to create a Bagger based on a 1500cc Suzuky Boulevard, which, according to Villis, was a mega challenge because it lacks the structure to handle the Baggers accessories, but the work had a surprising end result, Charmed the owner who parades happily among the best Baggers in Brazil.

Among one of the legal and challenging projects was the design of an ultra orange "on fire", according to Villis, the first impression seemed an unfeasible project, because traditionally for the effect flames work out it would have to be done on a black bike, but Not for him, who managed to make the fire work on the orange bike. The project was carried out at Adriana Riemer's Ultra Glide, a customer in Rio de Janeiro. "Villis did a great job on my bike, which I keep in my living room as a work of art. I knew what I wanted and he did the layout. Super professional. I'm from Rio and it was worth doing with Villis, in SĂŁo Paulo. A Baby, as Adriana calls it, has the look of flames inspired by the color of her red hair lit up like flames, always success wherever they go.
