What kind of sport-tourer are you into?

[Papa Lazarou]

The two bikes I ride most often are

     an 09 Kawasaki Voyager- BIG, COMFY, ALL THE GOODIES
     and an 02 Guzzi Lemans- completely minimalist and very sporty.

But guess what. I can pull my Lemans on a trailer behind my Voyager! Muahahaha!!

Nice. But to complete the look, replace the Kwak with a Victory Vision.

With girlfriend-size passengers light is the way to go, but for wife-size passengers you might have to go heavy.  

I looked to the left at your profile, expecting to see Wisconsin. Imagine my surprise.

I really like my R1200RT. Very light for it's size and it has all the goodies.
Plenty fast for me.

Definitely my favorite BMW.  Hoping to rent one in a couple weeks during a short trip to AZ.

Just saw my post on this thread from spring last year.  Here's my progress, well finished product.  Hard bags on a Super Duke.  It does everything well minus a pillion.  Not much for weather protection but with good gear is comfortable at freezing or better.

1st year Honda ST1100.  There are newer, faster, more powerful bikes , but I'm not sure they are that much better.

I'm more of a comfort guy. This bike looks like the shit.   Nice photo.

Or my last ride....

I ride a bandit 1200s with a hard trunk and put Bilt soft bags on it, i have heated grips and a zero gravity touring windshield and couldnt be happier...it is very nimble for a bigger bike.

ZRX1100 with soft bags it's all i need  

[Mortech]

And here I was thinking my 99 Concours was light and sporty .. it handle a lot nimbler than my old 74 CB550 ever did .

I love my Connie too but light and sporty it's not.  

It will move if you spank it along, and nimble when rolling, but jeebus it's the heaviest thing I've ever ridden since my late Uncles H-D FXRT.

It's a bitch in gravel/dirt parking lots.

2008 Honda CBR1000rr
"Leave No Corner Unturned!"
This touring machine took me 3600 miles with less then 60 of it interstate.
That's the way I roll!

  Light and sporty.  Tank bag and backpack is all I need on my Zed.

OK, I over packed on this trip...





Pared it down some on this trip...
