    So what is it ?

    The Suzuki Hayabusa is it a sports bike or a tourer . It is spose to be the worlds fastest production bike . But look on TM and there is more under tourer than in sports .

    As opposed to being a human parachute on a boulevard? The 'busa is a pretty comfortable jigger, and if you wanna cover a lot of miles with effortless ease they aren't a bad option......I just don't like the look of 'em, especially the last incarnation with that melted candlewax arse end.

    Sports Tourer, or, if you like, a Hyper Tourer, or was it hyper bike? Plenty of made up words either way...

    Basically, its not a light weight sportsbike, it is a more relaxed riding position, and yes, sports tourer is a legit category. Other bikes that are similar are the ZX14 and Blackbird. A tourer is more like the ST1300, Concours. Much heavier, even more comfortable riding positions.

    Sports Tourer is a category for tyres as well...
