Sport Touring reviews

The Ducati Monster is an icon of Italian motorcycling style. The newest incarnation is a stylistic departure from the original, but by using Borgo Panigale’s latest chassis designs, it’s philosophically truer to the original than it’s been for years. With much of the same tech, less weight, a nice dose of go-fast eagerness, and a cheaper price tag than its stablemates, it’s arguably the best value in the Ducati lineup. The new-for-’23 Monster SP ($15,595) ups the ante with a number of performance-oriented changes. To improve handling, the SP gets an Öhlins NIX 30 fork and Öhlins rear shock. It also comes with a steering damper, homologated Termignoni silencer, a lightweight lithium-ion battery, and reworked electronic settings. It also gets top-shelf Brembo Stylema calipers. Just in case passersby were to overlook the gold anodized fork or chunky calipers, the SP announces its presence with a bespoke “SP” livery reminiscent of the world championship-winning factory GP22 racebike.

BMW K1600GT, Sport-Touring. This bike is a DREAM to ride at any speed, any terrain, any traction, wet or dry! I’ve owned the BMW K1600GT for 11 years and have never had any mechanical or electrical/electronic problems. The power is smooth and extremely responsive. Braking and cornering are solid and stable. Absolutely the best bike on the market! Comfortable for very long, cross-country trips. Plenty of storage. Navigation is great. Nothing negative to say. Amazing bike! Show less

The bike is a joy to ride, much lighter than a Gold Wing, and it is its little brother with proper Honda performance. Light weight increases its agility and the proven 4-cylinder fuel-injected engine provides the power to take you both to the top of Pikes Peak without a sweat. While it is a touring bike, it handles much like a sport bike with reasonable acceleration and a smooth ride. Show less

The ZX9R is a fantastic sports / touring bike that has sharp handling, braking , a great fuel range and fantastic ergonomics; today’s sport bikes are anything but comfortable and are built with a track focus in mind. Another point is insurance is very reasonable because of the sports touring designation from insurers. Like any other motorcycle, maintenance is of upmost importance for safety and reliability. Keep the ZX9R tuned and maintained properly and you will be rewarded with mile after comfortable mile. The only downside is some people don’t like carburetors because they don’t understand them but they are reliable as long as they are maintained properly and filters changed on a regular maintenance schedule.

What I like about this motorcycle is it's versatility, being able to tackle any type of environment (with the right wheels), from the concrete jungles of the cities to off-road trails. It has just enough power to put a smile at your face with 471cc and it's claimed 48hp, while maintaining a top notch build quality-to-price ratio. It is very well balanced in terms of weight and handleability. What I didn't like so much was it's comfort, with me being in the taller side (5'10") I didn't find the standard ergonomics to be very comfortable and that's why I had to add a handlebar raiser. I would definitely recommend this motorcycle to anyone that's looking for a "Jack of all trades" that can cover every feature with ease and more for the price. This was my first motorcycle as a new rider and I used it for my daily commutes and a couple of short adventures. Show less

I have had no mechanical issues, suspension is set for the "perfect ride," and the quick response, when hitting the throttle is a "life saver!" I've got "no complaints." I've been riding for 50 years and "The Nightrain is the best Motorcycle I have owned! Bar none!! I truly, don't understand why Harley-Davidson discontinued this model. Show less

This bike has been one of my favorites. No issues. This bike should be classified as a sports-touring bike. It is powerful, very reliable...and comfortable. Great touring bike. It is high mileage...but wouldn't hesitate to take a crosss-country tour on it. Show less

I purchased this bike used. I have owned it for about 1 1/2 yrs. Up until about 4 yrs ago, I had never owned a Harley. I had mostly Honda’s Kawasaki’s and BMW’S for the past 50 yrs or so. I went to a Harley dealer just to look and wound up purchasing a used Limited. This was a very powerful and comfortable bike. This bike actually seemed more comfortable than my BMW. The BMW is awesome but the seats never seem real comfortable for me and for me, I have to go for an aftermarket seat. Since owning the used Limited, I had switched around with several Harley’s. I had a sport Glide a Street Glide and a Road Glide. I loved them all but when I found the Road King I took it for a ride and just had to have it. It is a lot easier to handle than the Road Glide or Limited. The Road Glide is an awesome bike but lives better on the highway on long rides. The Road King on the other hand is a great touring bike as well as easier to handle in town. It is quick and powerful but comfortable and balanced quite well. The Road King for me is the best of both worlds meaning that it handles great in city traffic but can give you an awesome touring ride all day long without any sacrifices. The only thing I miss on the Road King is a radio but I have solved that by getting a helmet with Bluetooth speakers and a radio but I normally Bluetooth my phone to my helmet and listen to Pandora or Amazon Music. I hope this helps anyone looking for a real comfortable and quite easy to ride Harley. Show less
