I believe the bike pictured as the subject of this post would be most correctly referred to as an "Adventure Touring" bike. Some consider that a class by itself while others would say its a sub-class of the "Sport Touring" genre.
Neither one of those types is available in the menu for bike classification in the profiles, but I think maybe they should be.

Sport Touring bikes would include the Honda ST1100 and ST1300, the Yamaha FJR, the Kawasaki Concours to name just a few. Sport Touring riding differs from Touring in that the pace is generally a bit quicker. A Sport Tourer is likely to head out for a 200+ mile ride just for lunch, or if going on a "trip" may run 300 to 800 mile days for several days in a row. Their rides are likely to be at a pace well faster than the average cruiser rider while at or just lower than the pace of the average sport bike rider. (No offense intended at any riders - just trying to peg the riding style of sport touring)

My main riding buddy - with whom I have ridden well over 40,000 miles - rides a BMW GS - An Adventure Touring bike. We are both well suited in riding styles the only differences being he's got the advantage when we run into dirt roads while I have a slight advantage (mostly in fuel mileage) when on the pavement.


Good info there...Thanks...
