The riding position is definitely more relaxed than a Panigale, or pretty much any superbike. That said, it's still more of a supersport than a sports tourer. From what I have heard, it's somewhere in the middle of the spectrum between true superbikes and relaxed sports tourers. People still do heavy mile munching on their Busas, though, so I suppose if you're craving speed and can give up a bit of comfort for it (but not too much), you are the target audience for this bike.
