Super Duke 1290 GT is calling my name

The big win for me would be something with the weight, handling, features, and ergonomics of a BMW R1250RT but with the smoothness, durability, reliability and purchase price of an ST.

I don't want much.

YES!!!

they did, tried and failed ,, ctx 1300, vfr1200, vfr1200x. Yesterday it was the new goldwing that has some resemblance to a st1300

CTX: Not a ST. VFR: Great bike, but not a ST. VFR-X: Wonderful bike, but not a ST. Goldwing: Soooo close to a ST, but not. C'mon, Honda...

these were designed as replacements because the riders were and have gone away from sport touring. I was out Sunday for about 5 hours, saw lots of harly and look alikes, 1 adventure bike, zero sport bikes and zero sport touring bikes. Look at the make up of ST Owners Club now look at this pick from a Harley Ride event, see the age similarities
