Title: Sport-Tourers Check In...

I guess we're the "young hooligans" of the Touring crowd.  :)

Here we go again. Another bike that I'm not exactly sure where it fits in. But to me, it's always been a Chitza sized sport tour :)

I have one of those bikes That doesn't really fit in any category and at the same time fits in many categories.  I think that Sport touring is one of those.

I think if you can pack everything you need to "live off your bike" and travel 400-600 miles a day, then it is a touring bike. HP and clearance doesn't matter. Hard cases are optional. Nice bikes everyone.

Just slid around town for a while. Had to let the tars cool after 4 or 5 spirited passes up and down 25. Was starting to ball up the rubber and feel a little too squirmy. (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170923/8b86d73b9263cfd40565500b0c674b8a.jpg)

Interesting story to go along with my 700 dollar purchase tonight. I'll get more up later this weekend once I have a chance to take some more pics and get it a little cleaned up and do an actual inventory of what I have...

Can we revive this thread?
This fella has been sitting in my brother-in-law's garage for about 5 years... at least that's the last registration I found. Three years, for sure.
Changed the oil this weekend, rode home from Athens GA on March 1.

Nice looking ST.  I had a black one a few years ago.  Great bike.
