I don't see my Honda VFR1200F amongst those bikes. With the V4/170hp/105lb.ft. I feel it's the still best sport tourer for the money right up there with the FJR1300 but with more emphasis on sport than tourer. All of these bikes are great but the OEM bags are super narrow on the VFR which allows for lane splitting/filtering. Most of the bikes here with bags won't fit between cars here in CA.
Top 5 Sport Touring Ever Made 1. Kawasaki Ninja ZX-14 ABS 2. Kawasaki ZZ-R1200 3. KTM 1290 SUPER DUKE GT ABS 4. Suzuki GSX-S1000F ABS 5. Honda VFR1200X ABS In 2023, Other Companies make fake sport touring as YAMAHA TRACER 07/09, SUZUKI GSX-S1000GT, HONDA REBEL 1100B, Kawasaki Z H2, BMW R1250, KTM 1290 Super Adventure and Harley Davidson Sportster S. They lie customers with high performance, but reality these motorcycles are very low performance with low quality, low material iron, low machine with higher price before.
