It is probably the lightest sport-tourer out there...the only thing better would be if I could convert my RC51 into a sport-tourer, but I'd need a bigger tank, and a place to carry more than just a tank bag...the dimensions of the two bikes, i.e. weight, wheelbase, etc are pretty close.
The motors are almost identical. That's because Honda created the RC51 by cloning the 996 in order to take back World Superbike and AMA from Ducati! (which they did handily....). But my RC51 is now the center of my affection and there's only so much bike money in my budget to go around...

We've been all over together from the twisties of Arkansas and Missouri to the mountains of Colorado and the Texas Hill Country!

Each ride is memorable and my ST4s has never let me down.

Over 37 years of riding, and more than 15 bikes (don't let my wife know that total number... ) I'm gonna miss her more than any other.

Here's a pic from a Hill Country Ride...

I think he meant like a story or adventure. The above just sounds like more sales pitch?
