I had sport bikes before and when I wanted something with hard bags, I knew I'd go the sport tourer route. My favorite bike I ever owned was my aprilia RSV-R:

Now we're talking. Had an RST. Wish I hadn't sold it.

Maybe you forgot the maintenance bills? lol I joke because I just hit 12k miles and my service is $995 on my tiger. Cheaper to run my 16 SS then my motorcycle nowadays. Thinking about selling it and going back to dirt bikes or jap bikes. Anything in the Europe union is ridiculous. Like my BMW 535i I got rid of last year. Kind of like a boat best days of ownership are the first and last. lol

My ape was rock solid. I miss that bike dearly. Now my Ducati? That I don't miss. At all.

Bikes are for racing. Turbo hayabusa has been 7.95 at 186mph. zx10r with a lowering strap on the front at 2800' track elevation and me at 210lbs 10.03 at 146mph. Camaro is for street fun. Raced the truck once.. 12.32 at 111mph. pulls the trailer pretty nice.. lol.
zx10r does not put the front tire down until the 1000'. the turbo busa can pull the front tire up at the 1000' and ride a wheelie across the finish line if the track is prepped well enough.
I'd love to see some pictures. The links are not working for me for some reason.

That Tiger looks like a beast! I love it! What's the fuel capacity on that bike?

Emoto, that BMW looks like it will take on the world! Nice bike

Thanks, Flipstyledsm22! It is a lot of fun. I use it as a street and touring bike.

Here's one I sold a few years back after putting around 55k miles on it.
