Sport tourer or Sportbike w/ bags?

[ChasingChaos]

Kramer is that yours for sale?  I used to have an ST2 and loved it. I've always thought of getting an ST4s one day.

Mine's a 'tweener.... VFR isn't really a track sort of bike - too heavy and not enough cornering clearance or hard acceleration for that, bit it really isn't what one would consider a dedicated ST bike either - no hard bags (they are an option or an aftermarket add on though), and I just have a Givi top case on mine.

But for me, it's the best bike for now. Next one will probably be one of the big boys though.

Standard with bags. Givi V35's and a MadStad adjustable windshield. All are removable in a few minutes.


BTW, on "fuzzy cell phone pics", clean off the fingerprints from the camera lens before taking your pics.

I had a FireBlade until recently and did tens of thousands of touting miles on it.  (I bought the bike before I really understood what I wanted from a bike).  

I hated using soft luggage.  There is always the security concern when stopped anywhere, and I lost count of how many times I was left in the rain untangling bungees and rain covers when the lads with hard luggage had unclipped it and buggered off in to the warm.  

For me, hard luggage is the way to go.

This was a hard poll--I take the Duc to Borscht, but I'm riding the BMW around now.

My main tourer is a GSXR 1000, although last year I took the ZRX 1200.Then there's the sport tourer option

These are all good answers

Why not buy one of each?

that will be me. got the SS, now, when we get back to SD, if funds are gtg, we'll get either ZX14r, Busa, C14, or VFR800. i realize the others are not ST, but that's what they will become if we get em and the SS will be TRACK/street.
