Don't think most st riders would consider this a touring bike. The pegs are back quite a bit, there is a definite forward lean and a lot of wind. It could be made into a touring bike like the CBR can be made into a touring bike but is definitely not purpose built for this. Bike is very fun to ride and scary fast. I like it quite a bit. Plan to wait to see the touring model and then might buy one.

DEAN - My biggest concern is with the handlebars since I've had some pretty major surgery on my wrists. Thanks for your perspective on that bit of it. After 'living' with it for 10 days on the road, I should a pretty good idea of it's touring capabilities.
