What kind of sport-tourer are you into?

[sammyseaman]

Hmmmm????
Just another independent study  

[jeepinbanditrider]

Not sure if the FJR fits into either one of those.  

IMO its more along the lines of being between your first two choices.  I don't consider it big as in Goldwing big but it's not minimal either.

I consider it big, fast and comfy because, well...... it is big, fast and comfy  

[Papa Lazarou]

Mine is big and slow and comfy. So I didn't know what to vote. So I voted option 3.

I guess if you consider a set of hard case's and a tire repair kit on my FJR Big and comfee with all the goodies. Then that's me.

It doesn't get much more minimal than a GS500F!



Keep the shiny side up

anything more than a tank bag is in Gold Wing territory.

An old sportbike is all you need.   Fuel gauges are for Iron Butt rides.  

[sammyseaman]

I'm very suprised with the results so far. Must be the windbreaker wearing, ice cream shop hoppin' riders haven't voted yet

BOT - I voted light and sporty.  The Sprint is nice but I find myself yearning for something lighter and sportier.

[bassjones]

funny, I consider the Sprint to be light and sporty, along with the VFR...

[Capirex]

Sure they're light and sporty compared to an FJR but I wonder how I'd enjoy a weekend 'sport-touring' trip on a 675 Daytona with a backpack.

[Rincewind]

Naked touring for me  

[bomber]

I voted #2, but I'll admit that anything with computerized ignition, fuel injection, and a computer that surpasses than in teh Space Shuttle (not hard, I know) doesn't really seem minimal to me ;-}

Spontaneous combustion isn't something that just happens to other people.  I need to improve my mechanic skilz.  




It's a fuel bottle, because fire is fun.

I'm currently all of the above.  But I'm selling the big, fast, comfy rig. I guess I'm closer to lighter and sportier with the speed triple.  

[maddjack]

Light and comfy,and yes they do exist.If I want full weather coverage I'll take the car

[falconati]

Option 2.

Protip: ST1300/FJR/Connie riders: you ride a porker and should vote for option 1  

[rodm850g]

Guys,
I got both of them....My ST1300 and a VFR800...not saying other bikes won't do the do but these are the choices for me.....I love the protection I get on the ST and the range can't be denied.....storage could be better but I am working on that. I plan to use soft bags on the VFR  goin old school I have in reserve a pair of Eclipse bags and a matching tank bag.....I like the heavy weight on the highway when that is necessary and the VFR in the outback is a blast! I would say that if the ST went away for what ever reason I'm not sure what I would replace it with....it might not be another heavy weight tourer...mebee a naked bike of some brand....who knows

on the ST....storage could be better but I am working on that.

What are you bringing with you?
