For some bikers touring means cruising on highways on imposing motorcycles with engines that sound like thunder, others wonβt depart on an adventure unless their two wheelers are ready to tackle off-road, while the fans of sport tourers need their bikes to be super-fast, agile on the curvy roads and forgiving over long distances. Here we are talking about a very special breed of Tourers, that are heavily leaning on the Sport side of performance and are one step away from being labeled as super or even hyperbikes.
