Anyone who has traveled on a motorcycle understands the touring conundrum: Fun and nimble motorcycle loaded down with only minimal luggage; or, a truckish touring rig that can dissuade its rider from taking the squiggly lines on a map.
All that's really needed for a sport-touring trip is a tank bag slapped on a sportbike, perhaps augmented by a couple of soft saddlebags for a longer trip. Of course, your contact points with the bike—the seat, handlebars and footpegs—will be subject to the same beating they do on your Sunday morning blasts, only amplified over the hours spent in the saddle.
You kids out there might be surprised to learn that the age of the average motorcyclist is somewhere between 40 and 45. And since there's a bit of a speed freak in nearly every one of them, there exists a market of those who are thrilled with the rush a bike can bring to their lives, all the while coddling its rider as the miles wear on.
