if I see a nice looking sport tour with nice hard luggage, I know that is isn't a Suzuki as they have probably made some sort of of decision years ago that they will not make a sport tourer. No, for the street, you get either an imitation Harley that tells the world that you want a HD, but can't afford it, a sport bike that makes your insurance bill second in $ to your mortgage, or a naked bike that you have to throw soft sided luggage on and, without windshield or plastic, makes long, high speed drives more an act of endurance than that of pleasure.
Geez, was the 88-93 katana 1100 really that much of a flop? I love my katana 1100, but I want to get something new soon and that Concours 14 is calling my name. Were Suzuki to bring in the 1250F and price it under the Concours 14, I'd be all over it like flies on a road kill. I have no intention of buying a Bandit and then finding a fairing, bags, etc for it- i want a read to go sport tourer. BMW, Yamaha, Honda and Kawi have no problems selling them, what's Suzuki's excuse?
