Lex,

Why, you can't disagree with the sport aspect, as far as the tourer, is not any
bike that is capable of 700-1000 mile days (comfortably) worthy of the touring
designation?

Like I have said, I put sever 500-800 mile days on my '99 ZX9r, for that matter 
at least one unofficial SS1000. The ZX11, ZX9r, ZX6e, CBR1100XX, GSX1300r
are all SPORT tourers, might not be your taste, but they work. They only
place where they might fall down is the lack of factory hard luggage.
