Is it me or has the sport touring class of motorcycles kind of disappeared. I'm not talking about the FJR, Concours, Honda ST's etc. but the smaller more sportier breathern such as the st4...st3...Triumph ST...and Honda VFR. Really the only two choices now left are the Honda or the Triumph (which is a little porky too).
I've been eyeballin the new Honda VFR1200f and would like to take one for a little test ride when they finally reach stateside to see what the veefer has. I really hate the thought of not having a Ducati in the garage however but if I was going to defect the V4 at least has some character.....(One of my first bikes was a 1986 VFR and it was a great bike) Anyway I wouldn't even consider it except I would like to have something with a little more technological wiz bang for sport touring such as shaft drive, ABS, etc and a little better service intervals. Sure wish Ducati would replace the st with a new updated version with some farkles and a 1098 motor. I know blah blah blah.......maybe the Strada Aperta will be the cats ass and will fit the bill.......
Anyway I actually started this thread to see if anyone else is eyeballin the new Honda or am I the only one.
Chuck I know its not related to the st models but its sport touring and this is the crowd I was looking for input from.
cheers
