The Blackbird is a wonderful long distance bike and it probably the coolest "sport-touring" bike you can get besides of course and H2 SX. But even now, the Blackbird is still superb, and hard to beat for what you can pick them up for these days.

[@SmittyAZ]

I bought one when they first came out in '97. I rode from AZ to GNP Montana and into Canada. I actually did a 1300 day ride home without planning.

None of these bikes will ever replace my 22 year old Honda Super Blackbird! Absolutely the best Sport Tourer there is IMO!

I had a Kawi Concours 14 for several years. Rode it from Nellis Air Force Base (Las Vegas) to Vandenberg AFB (Lompoc CA) twice a year when I was a Weapons School Instructor. Great on the highway, but around town it seemed top heavy and really didn't like slow speed maneuvering. Traded it in on a Suzuki Gixxer 750, my favorite bike ever. Now I ride a Triumph Street Triple RS. A very good bike, but I still miss my Gixxer.

[@krazokid19]

I'm very happy to see the Suzuki gsxs1000gt made the list! As a dad that owns one, I can say that it doesn't break the bank and I can still relive my gixxer bro days of my past

As some one with a gsxs 1000 gt... Can't recommend it enough. awesome power in A mode and then you can scooter it with C mode. Incredibly stable in corners as well.

[@j4s0n39]

I tested the S 1000 XR when it first came out and loved it...except the vibrations were so bad my right hand went numb, and it was a bit high for my short inseam. I tested the Ducati Supersport. The rear cylinder was incredibly hot on my legs, the mirrors vibrated to the point of uselessness, and it would keep hitting false neutrals between 3rd and 4th and 4th and 5th. I also tried a used H2 SX SE (H too sexy), but the previous owner had modified it to hit 230hp and the throttle response was terrible. I currently have a 2022 Ninja 1000 SX, and love it. It's as much fun as my friends' sport bikes on the street, and I can still walk after an hour of riding. It should be on this list, or in the super tier sport touring video.

[@J.O..]

Traded a 400 for the 1000sx , wife rides with me now. Minus the stupid design of the fairings where my knee lands when I go to shift, I love this bike more and more . 1000 miles on the odometer and I learn more about it and my riding skills every day . Totally added the shad39 top case both for the backrest for the wife and for the commute to work . Worth it

I wish Honda still made the VFR800 Interceptor. I currently have the 2007 25th Anniversary and I want a new one. I don't think I can give up the V4 engine and the center stand is very useful. And that VTEC is honestly a lot of fun

Interesting to see the Ducati Supersport appear in the list. As a 6ft person in my mid 50's. it was amazing to me how comfortable the bike is completely stock. Did a fly/ride for the 939 version last year. 1200 miles in 2 days and I could still stand upright at the end of the day.

[@joeln6861]

Triumph Tiger 900 GT- I use it as a sport tourer.. the tires even say tourer. Doubt I will ever take it off-road as I have a dual-sport, so this makes a good sport tourer with many of the same items as these bikes, for a bit less.. I was considering the Tracer 9 GT, but that was over 2K more.

[@tdizzle7685]

That gsx 1000 gt is nice

[@aggiebrandon2007]

I have been hoping Yammie would do a review of the H2 SX SE. He's had reviews of the other 2 H2 variants. The H2 SX SE seems like it is the closest offering to being a sport bike, while still in the touring category. I've seriously been considering this bike because of all of the technology and of course the supercharger chirps.

[@markchalloner5883]

I never managed to procreate(that I know of), but I did just go for a nice sporty 950 mile loop last week that earned me a performance award for 84 in a 60, and a car wheel weight penetrating my rear tire ten miles from home!

[@visualwarp9707]

Glad my SuperSport 950 gets a mention. Bit of a misfit maybe in that it really doesn’t look like a touring bike, and doesn’t have cruise control. But the looks are what sold me on it. The ergos are good too though. And it’s pretty light and agile. So it checks a lot of boxes. I think it’s a keeper.

[@IDontKnow-bb6mt]

I tour on my MT-10. Bought hard saddle bags and luggage rack, touring windscreen, and a comfort seat. She doesn't have long legs but damn shes fun to tour on. Plus when I'm not touring I take off the bags, windscreen, swap the clipon instead of the handlebar; bam shes a track monster too!

[@hsuis2cool]

father of 3 boys, beside my SuperMOTO (KLX 300sm) and my Naked sports bike (Ducati Monster 1200r) my go to touring is 2010 Honda VFR1200f DCT. altho it lack of some of the newer "gadget" of the modern sport tourer but with 170hp at the crank it can surely keep up with most of the bike in this list. a V4 engine with Honda's reliability. and best of all, one of the only DCT on a sports bike. with Bar riser, Corbin seat lower footpeg and taller windscreen, its as comfy on the highway as it is on the mountain twisties.

[@TheGeorgexiro]

Got the Supersport 950 for 2 years now and its awesome, the sound is deep and rich and it does reach 250km/h in favourable conditions. I love it and i wouldn't change it for anything (maybe Panigale V4S). It's a looker and the power is great for the street.

[@DucaTi_mD]

Snap... Had mine 12000 miles and 1 year old... Fantastic bike after a few small mods (screen, rubber pegs, 15mm ducabike bar risers)... Just completed 2000 miles in bad weather and she did wonderfully on motorways and Twisties!

[@multitaskchef]

That Suzuki is SWEET!!

[@Danziman78]

@@DucaTi_mD You think they are death traps, simply because they have analogue clocks and no quick shifter or rider modes? I would suggest you need to improve your rider skills if you struggle without these things. Learn how a use a clutch and how to modulate throttle/brake inputs. Folk managed to ride motorcycles without quickshifters etc for over a hundred years without much issue. If you struggle without these things, might I suggest you try a nice automatic scooter, instead. Also, I have tried new bikes and the tech brings nothing to the experience for me.

Just had to put loctite on the rear belt sprocket bolts for the second time, the rear view mirrors, the gas tank, and passenger pegs. Then I noticed there were like 5 missing bolts and 2 random wiring harnesses that were just hanging there on my 03 Harley Deuce. I took it to a dealer ship cause it wasn't running right, I paid $1,200 for a new ignition, a new tire, and a bolt that looks like it was welded to the frame so the gas tank stops flying up when I hit a bump but the weld broke, left me with all original fluids. Then gave me trouble over inspection cause the forks are like 2 inches longer. Oh and the day I brought it home the shifter fell off so I had to ride an extra 6 miles in 5th gear on top of the 3 I had till i was home, it was also the first time I had to tighten the rear sprocket. It was my dad's he left it to me in his will, I love all bikes but I'd never buy a Harley

Im thinking the tracer 9 is probably the only worthy sport TOURING bike here. Id take a crack at that moto guzzi though. I need to at least get 250miles on a tank which hardly any of these could. Our decisions will obviously be different. I live in the middle of the country so my #1 priority is range......good range.....at least 300+miles per tank so it doesnt take me forever to get to the cool riding areas. Which is why i bought my ST1300. Comfortable, quick enough to have tons of fun and reliable as hell. Not to mention the entry price point is low.

You omitted the Ninja 1000SX which is actually a better bike than the Suzuki GSX-1000GT and I am drooling over that H2 SX SE (The H2 SX is not even an option in the US, you are stuck with the more expensive SE version)
