Love these bikes. Wonder if the ST will at least have a manually adjustable windscreen and a centerstand, with saddlebags, a TPMS and CC as options? The middle-weight sport-touring segment is growing.
Wish Honda would release a sport tourer based on the CB 1000R platform.

Other than the slightly larger fairing, there's nothing in that package that makes me think "sport tourer."

Any word on whether they are using their own luggage or just adding on OEM stuff? How about that Touring windshield?

Leads me to wonder what is their definition of the touring part of sport touring. All I see are a couple sport bikes. A quick look was enough to determine I have a different ideal of a sport touring bike. I'm sure some will like them.

What a bunch of whining old men; FZ1GRL, Denise, has put 0ver 228K miles on one of these fine "Sport Tourers":

The bars are higher--looks like a big version of the GSX650F they sold a few years ago. That was a nice bike for the money, but it didn't sell well.
