Rocketman,
Your right it is a sports tourer. Like I said, it depends on what suits you. I have had the Bus at the creek and done ok. On the other hand, I've ridden for 8 hrs and not got off a cripple. Even had the wife on the back with luggage for a weekend away. As for torque, being able to accelerate cleanly from 1500 rpm up hill with two up can't be done by every bike on the road. If I wasn't 6'2" and 110kgs and thought I could fit on an R1, I might have considered it. But I gotta say, I made the right choice. Seems like all these others realise the Bus is the benchmark and are trying desperately to catch up..ha..ha...
p.s. Bloody Col', polarised opinion....again...
