Sport Touring reviews

The bike is a joy to ride, much lighter than a Gold Wing, and it is its little brother with proper Honda performance. Light weight increases its agility and the proven 4-cylinder fuel-injected engine provides the power to take you both to the top of Pikes Peak without a sweat. While it is a touring bike, it handles much like a sport bike with reasonable acceleration and a smooth ride. Show less

The ZX9R is a fantastic sports / touring bike that has sharp handling, braking , a great fuel range and fantastic ergonomics; today’s sport bikes are anything but comfortable and are built with a track focus in mind. Another point is insurance is very reasonable because of the sports touring designation from insurers. Like any other motorcycle, maintenance is of upmost importance for safety and reliability. Keep the ZX9R tuned and maintained properly and you will be rewarded with mile after comfortable mile. The only downside is some people don’t like carburetors because they don’t understand them but they are reliable as long as they are maintained properly and filters changed on a regular maintenance schedule.

What I like about this motorcycle is it's versatility, being able to tackle any type of environment (with the right wheels), from the concrete jungles of the cities to off-road trails. It has just enough power to put a smile at your face with 471cc and it's claimed 48hp, while maintaining a top notch build quality-to-price ratio. It is very well balanced in terms of weight and handleability. What I didn't like so much was it's comfort, with me being in the taller side (5'10") I didn't find the standard ergonomics to be very comfortable and that's why I had to add a handlebar raiser. I would definitely recommend this motorcycle to anyone that's looking for a "Jack of all trades" that can cover every feature with ease and more for the price. This was my first motorcycle as a new rider and I used it for my daily commutes and a couple of short adventures. Show less

I have had no mechanical issues, suspension is set for the "perfect ride," and the quick response, when hitting the throttle is a "life saver!" I've got "no complaints." I've been riding for 50 years and "The Nightrain is the best Motorcycle I have owned! Bar none!! I truly, don't understand why Harley-Davidson discontinued this model. Show less

This bike has been one of my favorites. No issues. This bike should be classified as a sports-touring bike. It is powerful, very reliable...and comfortable. Great touring bike. It is high mileage...but wouldn't hesitate to take a crosss-country tour on it. Show less

I purchased this bike used. I have owned it for about 1 1/2 yrs. Up until about 4 yrs ago, I had never owned a Harley. I had mostly Honda’s Kawasaki’s and BMW’S for the past 50 yrs or so. I went to a Harley dealer just to look and wound up purchasing a used Limited. This was a very powerful and comfortable bike. This bike actually seemed more comfortable than my BMW. The BMW is awesome but the seats never seem real comfortable for me and for me, I have to go for an aftermarket seat. Since owning the used Limited, I had switched around with several Harley’s. I had a sport Glide a Street Glide and a Road Glide. I loved them all but when I found the Road King I took it for a ride and just had to have it. It is a lot easier to handle than the Road Glide or Limited. The Road Glide is an awesome bike but lives better on the highway on long rides. The Road King on the other hand is a great touring bike as well as easier to handle in town. It is quick and powerful but comfortable and balanced quite well. The Road King for me is the best of both worlds meaning that it handles great in city traffic but can give you an awesome touring ride all day long without any sacrifices. The only thing I miss on the Road King is a radio but I have solved that by getting a helmet with Bluetooth speakers and a radio but I normally Bluetooth my phone to my helmet and listen to Pandora or Amazon Music. I hope this helps anyone looking for a real comfortable and quite easy to ride Harley. Show less

Bikes very dependable very fast by far one of the best looking motorcycles I've ever own 90 mph on the open highway it's just as smooth as could be think you're doing 40 vibration is low handling way above expectations just a really good running and handling motorcycle fast sleep low very low to the ground for short legged people handles great Show less

Rides like a dream. Rides like a new bike with the retro look and feel. After upgrading the air intake and exhaust the 700cc motor really opened up. The top end is a real treat. Thank you for listening Yamaha. Show less

I really like my bike I had several different Yamaha dual Sports and this one I like a couple things I don't like is one they took away all kick starts that's idiotic for any kind of bike that's on the dirt you never know when that battery is going to go dead and two I don't think I have too much torque as I'd like 240 but still at 250 should be able to at least pop up on command. All else is pretty good I like it quite bike nice bike Show less
