zeriously doubting your chances bro. gp is the only place using 800s and on the three points of Shit sucks to watch no homogolation no kawi factory effort basically makes your only option having a custom set of pistons/rods made up and jamming them in an otherwise healty zx10 which will be absurdly expensive. might spring for some air poppets too cause it'll be undersquare so you can shoot for 20k redline

I thought sport tourers were supposed to be reliable, low maintenance, and get at least halfway decent gas mileage.
For me, something like a Kawi ZRX1200R or Aprilia Tuono. I love torque, but I'm looking to avoid bodywork and have something that is easier on the knees.

I like the looks of the Z1K, but it's physically too small for me (I'm 6'6"). I haven't tried the older generation, but the current generation looks like a pocketbike under me.

I've thought about it, but that would definitely hurt my hanging-off abilities, and the seat-to-clipon distance would still be too short. I don't like having my hands right next to my knees.

![]() its even a v4. just like the GP bike is it bad when the sport tourer has more in common the GP prototype than the supersport 600s and 1000s do? i sure think so
