The Best Sport-Touring Motorcycles

Sport-tourers are the all-rounders that refuse to compromise: sporty enough to thrill on a good road, comfortable and protected enough to cross a country. We ranked the best on the balance that matters most: outright pace versus long-day comfort.

   Triumph Daytona 660

   8.3

   A road-first supersport that wraps a punchy, characterful 660 triple in wind-cheating bodywork: comfortable, usable and superb value, even if it trades outright track sharpness for everyday ease.

   Suzuki GSX-8R

   7.9

   An approachable faired twin with a torquey 776 motor, quickshifter and ride modes as standard; KYB suspension and porky weight cap the sporting ambition.
