I can't even imagine sport touring on a CBR even the CBR1100XX props for that my friend props for that.That's why I'll have 2 bikes.
A Street Triple for fun and a CBR1100XX for long distance touring.
Don't worry having a collection of bikes is not for everyone, like I said there are several schools of thoughts on this subject. So there is no wrong answer.I dont know that I would own many at once. I have ridden a few different models, not all for long distances though. i plan on a lot of touring in the next couple years so i will need something else, but I love my ninja now and I am not proficient with it yet all the way.
