I think you missed a great contender. The 2020 Kawasaki Ninja 1000 SX is a fantastic sport touring machine. It does not have as much power as some of the others mentioned here but it has more than enough to get you into serious trouble and it stands up well on the list of accessories. For someone short, like myself, it accommodates my 5' 6" with the factory lowered seat and no need to shorten the suspension. No lightweight but well balanced and easy to push around the garage or parking lot. Smooth engine, good brakes and suspension out of the box and plenty of features. Personally I think it kicks the Suzuki's butt and would give a good run against numerous other's mentioned here for less money.

SPORT TOURER ! Good handling good power must have Comfortable 2up seat and Bags !

[jorgemtds]

To me, the best Sport Tourer is the Yamaha FJR1300. I like it so much that I bought one 😁.

[jlamontagne]

My favorite one, out of these bikes, is the Versys 1000. I have one, and I like it very much.

[SF-jpqy]

How about including sport touring bikes that can accommodate a passenger in a relative comfort for longer than an hour ride?

[gar]

Great choice if your focus is toward sport. If your focus is more toward touring, then you need to include the BMW R1200 RT.

[jballen]

So how do these handle cold or rain? These r good tourin bikes if u roll 5-6000 mi yr. But i roll 15000 mils a yr so giv me the BMW RT or YAMAHA FJR

[Airtouch]

Actually, none of these bikes you listed are really a Sport Touring Motorcycle.. lol. Yamaha FJR, Kawasaki Concours, etc., those are sport touring machines.

[VietnamMotorbikeTours]

No matter what you ride! its all about the adventure on two wheels

[henrymccarty]

GSXS 1000 F is a super fun bike with tons of power and speed. Corners very well too. It’s comfortable to ride long distance. Kriega bags on the passenger seat for luggage and your set.

[numbone]

You have a very unusual and interesting voice. (and that is a good thing)

[chrissouthway]

Sport tourer should be quick comfortable for two with luggage
My choice the Yamaha FJR1300

[joseorellana]

All these are great bikes but how did the k1600 not make the list??
Anyways! Nice video and I think you should make ASMR videos as well lol!!

[skylinex]

Love the footage and explanation. Why does it sounds like I'm listening to a captain on a airplane? Change mic?

[rgsauls]

Great reviews, thank you. I personally think the z1000sx is much better to tour on as the supercharged brother and should have been number one since you included the suzuki and the bmw xr. It is more on par price wise as well.

[danielwittmotorycle]

Love my FJR. Several great options for bikes in this category. There are a bunch of 'best of' videos for sport tourers out there, with varying opinions. IMHO Some of of the lighter weight bikes don't offer enough stability & rider protection when you hit things like 75 miles of pounding rain. I go between this bike & my Hayabusa. Frankly, most of my miles are on the FJR. It does so much, so well. Cheers

[juanmanuelvalladolidmoro]

I agree with your choice. Kawa H2 SX is a great bike

[arag]

The problem is: All of these bikes are chain driven, which means you have to do chain maintenance every few hundred miles. You have to carry chain lube with you. On a long distance ride, this would be a pain in the behind.

[eyeballs]

There are plenty of bikes that can be considered for this category. Personally, I think that any touring capable bike should have cruise control and decent weather protection for colder or wet riding conditions. None of the above mentioned would be my first choice being that I live in Northern Ontario Canada. My 2019 FJR replaced my 1400 Concours primarily because the Kawi lacked cruise.

[zspence]

How bout the Kawasaki concours??? I have one, and did R66 plus other long rides, multi-state runs and its flawless!
