I think you folks have a point about touring on a sports bike. I just bought a C90T, which is 695 pounds empty. With my saddle bags full and my fat rear on it, it gets to be quite a horse to park and make short turns. I used to have a 550 that I drove from Kansas City to Minneapolis, and it was fine. It was a 4-cylinder and very smooth. I cruised between 75 & 80 mph all the time and never had a problem. Like some of you, I feel it's the seat that counts, not the size of the bike. If it fits and feels good, you can ride all day.
