I was in the market for a while to buy one after a careful review of all the Sport/Touring bikes. I got very very close on a sweet used bike but backed out at the last moment. I am not sure of the numbers but I see quite a few of them here in Texas. I think however I am leaning more towards the adventure bikes for my next purchase. I am looking at the KTM 950 Adventure and also the Triumph 800 XC. I think the KTM is winning me over because of its better load capacity and power (I do a lot of 2 up riding). I have considered the BMW 1200GS adventure but man that is such a monster bike.
Cheers…

Since I recently got a Yamaha FJR1300 I thought it would be interesting to compare the speed and horse power tests for the major Sport Touring bikes on the road today.
The bikes I consider the true Sport Touring bikes right now are the Yamaha FJR1300, Kawasaki Concours, BMW K1600, and the Honda ST 1300. I just got a recent issue of Motorcycle Consumer News and I thought I would share some of the results from their performance index. The performance index lists hundreds of different bikes but I wanted to focus on the bikes in my mental wheel house right…
