I think you missed a great contender. The 2020 Kawasaki Ninja 1000 SX is a fantastic sport touring machine. It does not have as much power as some of the others mentioned here but it has more than enough to get you into serious trouble and it stands up well on the list of accessories. For someone short, like myself, it accommodates my 5' 6" with the factory lowered seat and no need to shorten the suspension. No lightweight but well balanced and easy to push around the garage or parking lot. Smooth engine, good brakes and suspension out of the box and plenty of features. Personally I think it kicks the Suzuki's butt and would give a good run against numerous other's mentioned here for less money.
@@chessgains8075 In reality most bikes cannot be ridden for long anywhere near the ability on the road and KEEP your licence . The Advantage of the FJR 1300 is reliability and LONG lasting .
@@chessgains8075 You seem Sports orientated . Trouble is today with all the speed cameras everywhere ( including great bike riding roads where they are near corners ) You loose you're licence quick . In Australia get caught 15 mph over and you can loose it . Get caught 10 mph over just twice in 3 years and your licence is GONE . I've come out of corners and been pulled over and warned I was exceeding the speed limit coming out of the corner . Ive done a lot of driving in around the USA over 25 years, you have really easy policing there ,Ive been just waved to slow down many times , doing those speed here and you can say goodbye to $2,000 and your licence for 6 months and thats you car and bike licence .
Actually, none of these bikes you listed are really a Sport Touring Motorcycle.. lol. Yamaha FJR, Kawasaki Concours, etc., those are sport touring machines.
GSXS 1000 F is a super fun bike with tons of power and speed. Corners very well too. It’s comfortable to ride long distance. Kriega bags on the passenger seat for luggage and your set.
There are plenty of bikes that can be considered for this category. Personally, I think that any touring capable bike should have cruise control and decent weather protection for colder or wet riding conditions. None of the above mentioned would be my first choice being that I live in Northern Ontario Canada. My 2019 FJR replaced my 1400 Concours primarily because the Kawi lacked cruise.
FJR is one of the longest running models, no? No major update since 2003. This is great for a touring machine where you might be a thousand miles from home.. it means it's tried and tested and the bugs have been worked out.
The problem is: All of these bikes are chain driven, which means you have to do chain maintenance every few hundred miles. You have to carry chain lube with you. On a long distance ride, this would be a pain in the behind.
Seriously? A pain in the behind to pack a small can of chain lube in your luggage? I've never found that to be a problem for either 2 day or 2 week trips.
Great reviews, thank you. I personally think the z1000sx is much better to tour on as the supercharged brother and should have been number one since you included the suzuki and the bmw xr. It is more on par price wise as well.
Love my FJR. Several great options for bikes in this category. There are a bunch of 'best of' videos for sport tourers out there, with varying opinions. IMHO Some of of the lighter weight bikes don't offer enough stability & rider protection when you hit things like 75 miles of pounding rain. I go between this bike & my Hayabusa. Frankly, most of my miles are on the FJR. It does so much, so well. Cheers
Yep, the FJR is a fan favorite among sport tourers. Absolutely no doubt it does the job amazingly well. However, the Tracer GT is a good one from the Yamaha stable as well. The FJR is kind of outdated and looks aged compared to the newer Tracer.
Hey hey, I’m right with you there, I bought a 2015 650 LT a year ago, had 3000 Miles and mint condition for $ 5200, guy I bought it from paid $ 8900 through Costco and had added $ 600 in extras. Great deal and I love the bike. Ride on-
I like the Kawasaki H2 SX. Followed by the Yamaha . But I am an adventurer fan so BMW GS650 or Yamaha 700 Tenere are top of my list. They make sense when you are 3hours away from the Kalahari Desert ....thanks for sharing
The Cisco Kidd just my opinion but you should ride a KTM Super Duke GT or Super Adventure S depending how tall you are.the SAS is the bomb in my opinion.
@@chrislovett87 I just brought my 2020 H2 SX SE home, I sat on the KTM's not my thing, I am 5'11' 175 the H2 fits me perfect, exactly what I wanted and I got the SE in the new 2020 color, unfortunately here in the pac NW of Canada riding season for me is done within the next 2 weeks I will spend the winter tinkering and working on my ZX11 and hope to sell my ZX-9R, cant have 3 lol. Thanks for the feedback , I love the Kawis, ZX14 prior was great but too much engine heat. I look forward to covering alot of ground on my new bike next summer. 53yo , fit and enjoy the sportier side of sport touring, staying fit really assists w riding imho
@@kiddcisco Since you own both, how do you feel about the ZX14 vs the H2sx? Is the zx14 more comfortable, I know it is heavier and they have similar power. Thanks
Cisco, I’ve had the zx14 and currently have the H2SXSE and the S1000XR. They are both much better than ZX14 for long distance comfort. The H2 SXSE is like driving a luxury GT car. It’s amazing. The BMW on the other hand is an animal that always puts a smile on my face in the twisties. Far more visceral. I thought I’d only keep one but they are complete opposites of each other. Can’t go wrong with either.
Always been a fan of Honda. Three of my 5 bikes have been Honda's. But they eliminated their ST (for sport tourer)... why? Would love to see a more naked version of the ST1300. Always thought they had too much plastic on that bike, though it was excellent. Still like the standard look and balance of the Yamaha FJ1300. Yeah, it's a bit dated in style, but I bet that thing is rock-solid on a 13 hour all-day ride. Would much rather ride from the Bay Area, California to Tucson on the FJ1300 vs the new Tracer.
I don't get some of the bikes listed here....not true sport tourers. My Kawasaki Concours C14 with a $300 ECU Flash and touring seat easily does 650 mile days back to back, turns 10 second quarter miles, and tops out at 182mph. To me that puts the sport back in sport touring.....comfortably. Reliability next to none also!
I don't know what you think is touring is , yes you get sport . Just how often do you think you have to fill up when riding these sports bikes hard enough to run away from FJR1300 . Go ride a 600-1000 mile day and repeat it the next day , then see how you feel riding any these .
well done, indeed. I recently bought a 2018 Ninja 1000 which definitely is more sport than tour although a taller VStream windscreen helped a bunch. The seating position it too upright. I wonder where you'd place it in your line up. I'm guessing between the KTM and the Suzie.
How crazy is the power delivery? I'm an experienced rider, but have never ridden any of these screaming fast sport bikes. Also, what about comfort? Cheers from Vermont! Just back to riding this Summer after about a decade, bought a Moto Guzzi V7III Milano that I love! I will, however, be looking for something to eat highway miles, and smaller routes on longer tours as an addition at some point.
Hi Todd, it’s not particularly crazy, it’s such a silky smooth engine, the supercharger starts to kick in at 4500 and really starts to pull at 6ish, by 10000 it’s pulling like a train. But because you have all the electronics doing there thing, you always feel as though things are under control. Yes it’s a bit flighty if you decide to go bat shit, but again, the anti wheelie which is part of the traction control, keeps it all safe! Unless you have the traction control switched off of course!! I ride mine two up 80% of the time and apart from my Mrs screaming in my ears via the intercom, I’ve never felt as though this bike is going to kill me, it’s ballistic when you want it to be, but very civilised and well mannered the rest of the time, not to mentioned extremely smooth. In all a brilliantly capable bit of kit... I love it, fully recommended one to anyone looking for a sports tourer👌🏽👍🏽
Forgot to say, comfort wise, brilliant. I’m 6ft1 and my Mrs is 5ft. We did a 500 mile stint one day in Spain, apart from fuel stops, we didn’t stop as we needed to get to this destination for a certain time! We got off and to be honest, could’ve done it again! Again, superb job done by Kawasaki👌🏽👍🏽
I can answer your question regarding bells n whistles on the H2 SE comes with: quick shifter up and down Heated grips TFT dash Power modes Traction/wheelie control Engine braking control Side and main stand Colour coded panniers Green and black body work Launch control (brilliant laugh the first time you try it😂) Performance Tourer option has: Akroprovic end can Tinted sports screen I ended up having the full works and everything in my mind, is brilliant. It’s Japanese so it won’t go wrong too!....
This would have been a good video if they just took time an let you see the bikes an loose all the camera trick's an wide angle shot's that don't show details
Those are ADV bikes geared toward the street. You can take a vfr800x down a fire trail and probably be okay for the most part. You take a regular vfr800 and you’re toast.
Nice video. Interesting presentation. But please upgrade your mic. Industry standard would be best by far "Shure SM7B", but even any cheaper option would do, that would improve sound over ur existing one.

Please check out our newer videos. Hope you'll like it. And if you'd like, a Subscribe to the channel would be greatly appreciated! 🙂✌️
@@FullThrottleCA Great. Will check newer videos. For the touring bike I've bought Ninja 1000SX. Bike I can drag a knee with on the twisties and on the other hand, when sitting upright on the seat and taking side panniers, can easely travel 700km in comfort. Find it to be more nimble than the H2SX and after 24k kilometers still love it!
I.ll Keep my Mighty FJR1300 thanks! you can do a 1.000ks a day on it 2 up No Stress and the fuel economy is great , I dont think ANY of these latest offering can do ALL that the FJR can do
I don't think you can consider bikes a "sport tour" that doesn't come standard with bags. I see channels all the time doing these comparisons that include/exclude certain bikes, but without bags and the included cost they cant be compared to those that include both bags and cost.
Jeez...Are you serious? My Hips and Knees wouldn't last 30 minutes on ANY of these bikes. I had a 2006 FJR1300AE for years and regret the day I sold it...Awesome Sport Touring for a bike without Cruise Control (my only gripe). Definitely heavy on the Sport and a much younger target market. Good Video though... JP
FJR1300 is by far the best touring bike here. At least he mentioned it. The younger crowd can afford to spend 13k instead of 18k and so it gets the pick. My 2021 FJR has cruise control, ABS braking, traction control, etc....
Ride Past U 1 Thanks mate! Consider subscribing to the channel for more motorcycle related news and contents. A new video is released every weekend. Peace ✌️
K1600GT is a great tourer for sure, but it’s almost in bagger territory than sports tourer. For 2020, we believe the S1000XR from BMW is a great sports tourer.
@@TK-cl1jm Have you ridden one? 160hp. Cornering stability electronics. 17 inch tires. 45 degree lean angle, you can get a knee down. Does wheelies if you got the skill. Tight rake. Balanced like a top and handles like a BMW. Idk Todd.. sounds pretty sporty to me! 🤣
All the bikes that were listed are either sport touring bikes or adventure touring bikes with the exception of the Suzuki .. Any other bikes you bring up are literally categorized as touring by their respective company or dead
We took your feedback and attempted to make our audio quality better. Please check out our new video and let us know your thoughts: th-cam.com/video/jmJwHAN3QpQ/w-d-xo.html
The Suzuki gsxs1000f is not a tourer, I know I had one..the wife would only go about 50 mile on the back before the nunny got sore 😆 she did like the vibrations though..!
Honestly you have ridden these bikes have you? Or there is no way that you would be recommending that Suzuki. I have owned one, yes it has a great engine but is absolutely horrible to ride in every other way. Thumbs down dude.
How come never mention the Suzuki Bandit 1250..that has real world power with a shitload of torque in the low rpms in a bulletproof motor,with valves that rarely ever have to be touched unless you're curious.. Comfortable and CHEAP...the best bang for your buck bike you can get
Thanks for the feedback Dave. Appreciate it! Yeah this was one of the first videos I started doing a voice over and I had not used a pop filter. Check out my newer videos if you like, hope the audio quality has now improved with the better mic setup I have now.
A sport tourer is exactly that... A sport looking bike that you can have the comfort to tour on, some here may be classed more appropriately as an adventure tourer.. No zzr1400?
ninja 1k > GSXS 1k any day of the week. The suzuki looks like a scooter. It also doesn't come with panniers... which kinda defeats the purpose of a "tourer"
So the H2SX and a Connie with a different motor. That Kawi color is GOD awful on the H2 SX. I have a few friends who ride Connie's, they are beautiful...not that green shit. lol.

SPORT TOURER ! Good handling good power must have Comfortable 2up seat and Bags !

My favorite one, out of these bikes, is the Versys 1000. I have one, and I like it very much.
mine have 130, 000 km, new in 2023, next one should be probably a tracer gt 9 or a suzuki v strom 1050
oups! new in 2013!
Actually, none of these bikes you listed are really a Sport Touring Motorcycle.. lol. Yamaha FJR, Kawasaki Concours, etc., those are sport touring machines.
Great choice if your focus is toward sport. If your focus is more toward touring, then you need to include the BMW R1200 RT.
GSXS 1000 F is a super fun bike with tons of power and speed. Corners very well too. It’s comfortable to ride long distance. Kriega bags on the passenger seat for luggage and your set.
So how do these handle cold or rain? These r good tourin bikes if u roll 5-6000 mi yr. But i roll 15000 mils a yr so giv me the BMW RT or YAMAHA FJR
Z1000sx 2019 the best for me !
No matter what you ride! its all about the adventure on two wheels
Another news flash: the sky is blue!
How about including sport touring bikes that can accommodate a passenger in a relative comfort for longer than an hour ride?
Honda Goldwing.
Not a sports tourer, but rather a full on heavyweight tourer.
@@fyorbane Yamaha Tracer 900 GT. Gonna buy one this week :)

I deeply believe that bmw r 1250rs should replaces the s1000r bmw!
R1250RS deserves a LOT more attention than it gets. Incredible bike.
2008 yamaha FZ1
Number 1 should be ninja 1000sx
That was a phenomenal review. Curious to see more of your work with other bikes.
Ride Past U 1 Thanks mate! Consider subscribing to the channel for more motorcycle related news and contents. A new video is released every weekend. Peace ✌️
Where’s the king? K1600GT. Appears you focused on price.
K1600GT is a great tourer for sure, but it’s almost in bagger territory than sports tourer. For 2020, we believe the S1000XR from BMW is a great sports tourer.
SPORT Tourer...
@@TK-cl1jm They say it differently in the old country: SPORTS tourer. Sounds odd to me too.. but whatever.
@@user-cx2bk6pm2f You're probably right regarding sports vs sport. My point was more that the K1600GT hardly fits the bill as a Sport(s) Tourer.
@@TK-cl1jm Have you ridden one? 160hp. Cornering stability electronics. 17 inch tires. 45 degree lean angle, you can get a knee down. Does wheelies if you got the skill. Tight rake. Balanced like a top and handles like a BMW. Idk Todd.. sounds pretty sporty to me! 🤣
I’d take the ninja 1000 sx over all these.
Jool My choice too.
Fivespeed 302 yea it just seems like a solid bike with out it costing a trillion dollars.
Ok cool
@@moldzillam261 I know, that’s why I said it.
Indian challenger is the KING OF THE BAGGERS. 👑🇺🇸👑🇺🇸👑🇺🇸👑
best sport tourer is suzuki 650 bandit
You listed 5 sport bikes that you can put luggage on. Now, how about some sporty touring bikes?
All the bikes that were listed are either sport touring bikes or adventure touring bikes with the exception of the Suzuki ..
Any other bikes you bring up are literally categorized as touring by their respective company or dead
Dude, get a pop filter for your mic and drink some coffee.
Thanks for the feedback Mack, yeah just started with narration for our videos. Need to get better equipment for sure! 😊👍
Agree, I liked the content but did not enjoy listening to you.
Really annoying Brit accent
We took your feedback and attempted to make our audio quality better. Please check out our new video and let us know your thoughts: th-cam.com/video/jmJwHAN3QpQ/w-d-xo.html
The Suzuki gsxs1000f is not a tourer, I know I had one..the wife would only go about 50 mile on the back before the nunny got sore 😆 she did like the vibrations though..!
bud, you missed the sport touring mark by a very long mark in my opinion....
No FJR? Invalid comparison
Maybe 20 years ago.
Ducati MTS GT puts all these bikes to shame.
Is there a baby sleeping in the next room?
Haha..you guessed it right!!! 😬
Am frm 2021
Hayabusa !
Honestly you have ridden these bikes have you? Or there is no way that you would be recommending that Suzuki. I have owned one, yes it has a great engine but is absolutely horrible to ride in every other way. Thumbs down dude.
Audio make this vid hard to watch
Sorry mate, one of my fist attempts at doing voice over and did not have a good mic at the time. Hope you check out some of my newer videos. 🙂👍
How come never mention the Suzuki Bandit 1250..that has real world power with a shitload of torque in the low rpms in a bulletproof motor,with valves that rarely ever have to be touched unless you're curious.. Comfortable and CHEAP...the best bang for your buck bike you can get
Have a Bandit 1250 myself. Brilliant bike. Touring, commuting anything you want to do, its possible with the Bandit.
Buy a pop filter dude
Thanks for the feedback Dave. Appreciate it! Yeah this was one of the first videos I started doing a voice over and I had not used a pop filter. Check out my newer videos if you like, hope the audio quality has now improved with the better mic setup I have now.
I see one sport touring bike , the rest are adventure bikes ....
A sport tourer is exactly that... A sport looking bike that you can have the comfort to tour on, some here may be classed more appropriately as an adventure tourer..
No zzr1400?
No shaft drive, no thanks.
I AGREE !
ninja 1k > GSXS 1k any day of the week. The suzuki looks like a scooter. It also doesn't come with panniers... which kinda defeats the purpose of a "tourer"
Ninja 1000sx
Sport Touring=no passenger...If I want a bike for two I will buy a Gold Wing...
How about adding any sport touring bikes at all these are all not sport touring bikes
LOL ... the gsx is not a sport tour bike unless you are built like Quasimodo.
Nothing in this video is a comfortable touring bike.
These are all sport bikes
the tracer 900 GT is very comfy and i am a fjr1300 rider.
These are SPORTY bikes that can "tour" a bit. Not one of them is TOURY and a bit sporty. Bad mix of choices.
kawasaki 1043 cc vw
You can tell this is just paid for marketing !
Tracer over FJR??? U must be high buddy.LOL
The FJR is a legend in the Sport touring world. Have to give room for the newbies too yeah? 😎
@@FullThrottleCA no.
Note to self: To upgrade from Super Sport to Sport Touring, just add nearly useless luggage.
nah. The diffirens in riding position on these compared to any supersport is huge.
Sort out your mic !
Thanks Jeff for the feedback. I've updated my mic since this. 😎✌️
kawasaki versys maybe but h2r for touring ? naaaaa!
So the H2SX and a Connie with a different motor. That Kawi color is GOD awful on the H2 SX. I have a few friends who ride Connie's, they are beautiful...not that green shit. lol.
Multistrada 1260 all day long......
Much too hectic cut!
Tracer better than FJR? Really?..... Tracer is the WORST name.
