Thanks for the responses. There are bikes being marketed as sport touring bikes that are very limited in size for carrying luggage and/or a passenger. I have one, a Ninja 1000SX. I have had a SuperDuke GT. I don’t consider them Sport Touring bikes by todays standards. I have owned two 1600 BMWs, two FJRs, an St1300, Concours 14 and two GoldWings.
I picked put the 1200 today and rode it about 85 miles home on a variety of roads. I’ll do a full write up in the next couple of days. I would post a picture, but this looks like one of the old forums that I have to host the picture somewhere and then insert a link. I don’t have a way to do that. Is there another way?
