What bike (again?) - Sports Tourer style - apologies

Won't the ZZR be handful on a commute to central London?

Anyone thought of the Z1000SX? Very roomy, very chuckable when you want to, not over or underpowered and available at a decent price.

I couldn't comment from experience but it's not as big/heavy as it looks once on the move and it does seem to have a certain presence about it. In the few months I have had mine I have found traffic I am approaching far more accommodating than when out on the S1000RR, that said the Z1000SX is actually a good shout, but its not as pretty

The k1300gt is a good call if you want a good sports tourer.

The K13GT is more a "sporty" tourer rather than "sports" tourer IMO - compared to my previous VFR the Beemer is a lot less nimble.

The Beemer knee tuck angle is still relatively tight, and at 5'10 (and a bit lardy) I find more than 150 miles in the saddle without a break a bit of a struggle. Not as comfortable as I expected for something badged as a high speed intercontinental cruiser, but a good bit of that is down to me I imagine.
