The “redneck with a shotgun” meme guy is a close personal friend of mine, that picture was a joke. He’s nothing of the sort, but still hilarious.

Again, Turbo Busa is the best bike in every category.

as a concours 14 owner i can say sport tourers are the best of both worlds. want a 180mph speed missle, check. want to feel comfortable while doing it, check.

Odd that a former VFR owner didn't include the VFR in this list. Also the Kawasaki Concours 1400, not to mention the Yamaha FJR 1300...all of these bikes are hands down better sport touring machines than the 9 mentioned in the video...odd.

Including the Niken but not the Tracer 900 GT (or ‘21 9 GT) is inexcusable

[UncleDon]

Interesting point about the H2- because it is supercharged, the 998cc engine displaces 998 cubic centimetres of air. Air pressure at sea level is just over 14.6 psi. So with a claimed boost pressure of 20.5psi, the H2 actually displaces about 2400cc of air at full tilt. Thats why the machine that is under a liter, can go over 220mph

[Kreakatar]

I thought the title was SPORT touring. A goldwing might be a good tourer but it's not any more "sport" than a normal civic.
Why did you mention the adventure s instead of the superduke GT?
The Indian, a bagger, is not a sport tourer.

If the title of the video would've not included the word "sport" it wouldn't have been soo annoying.

[baileyr]

I have never seen "Gold Wing" and "Sport Touring" used in the same sentence before.

[AsianVoodoo]

The most fun sport tourer IMO is the Tracer 900 GT! That CP3 engine is an absolute riot!!

[JeffreySMoore]

Everyone keeps forgetting the concours14. It’s a zx14 with heated grips an adjustable windshield. It’s wicked fast and handles well.

[iPhYzIk]

I was kinda confused when the Tracer 900 or the FZ Lineup didnt show up.

[miraclo]

I have put tens of thousands of miles on my KLR 650. i have taken it up mountains and through deserts and from coast to coast. i just finished a trip here through the West of Canada and Wild Camped the entire way for 3 months almost 100 days. had it totally loaded up with gear and it held up in the entire way. any issue i had was easily fixed in camp. great trip. i always recommend the KLR 650.

[timsretirementjourney]

I could see 3 major screw ups in this if we're talking about the BEST "Sport Tourers" by each manufacturer. Yamaha would be the FJR1300. Kawasaki would be the 1400 Concours. BMW would be the K1600GTL.
Then again you did say that was YOUR list and the ones you'd buy. For ME give me the weight and stability of these three over the ones you chose any day of the week. ;)

[ThAccmplice]

One of the most underrated I’d say is the Suzuki GSXF. Secretly underrated sport cruiser. Massive seat and upright position makes it super easy to ride long distance but still pretty flickable

[AnReO]

How funny that non of the bikes here are sport touring lol No tracer, no XRs, no tiger, no multistrada, no versys or 1000sx... basically no sport touring bikes in a sport touring list. Nice!

[johnridesadv]

The new Tracer 900 GT has gotta be one of the best ST bikes available. With all the new changes for 2021, it is one helluva bike. I have an XSR900 with a triple, and it would be a great engine for long long miles.

[TexasSmallTownRides]

I am a BeemerBoi, I have an '18 S1000XR and a '20 K1600GTL, they are both loads of fun, the XR rips and is a great solo touring bike, the GTL is perfect for two up touring. BTW the GTL has 160 HP and 129 footies of pull.

[StewieAC]

My dad bought a BMW K1300GT and that thing is just something else. With the BMW suspension and the heated grips and seats. The 4cylinder engine with an output of 160 hp is really awesome. You can ride that thing all Day. Super comfy. But it's not for everyone of course. I personally like something lighter and smaller.

[Pabloman]

Hey! I really like my goofy looking Versys 1000! It's is fast, protects me from the elements, can carry stuff and can give me a day long ride without aching back and wrists.

[glennmcc]

An older bike I know, but my Suzuki GSX 1250 FA is a sports tourer, and a hell of a lot of fun in the twisties (or any time you twist the throttle).
