Yes, and the new Trophy. But it is a dying classification for now. Everything is "Adventure." Adventure bikes, adventure jackets and pants. I even saw one company (Revit maybe?) marketing Adventure socks. Yes! Even your socks can have a better adventure than you!

"Adventure" effectively replaced "sport touring." Only a few stalwarts left in the latter category, like those crazy-ass FJR riders.

Sent from my iPhoneBikes have evolved, do we need to shake up the categories a bit to reflect that? Like Tigers are in "Sport Touring" as well aren't they? Rather than an "Adventure Bike" catagory?
Sent from my iPhoneThat was my first thought, but I deliberately changed to super sport because an RS has clip-ons and rear-sets.

I think Sprint is "Sport Touring" catagory? Either way, I would vote for it.

Wait a minute!
That "certain yellow Sprint RS" is now clean as a whistle, washed and polished, sporting yellow frame sliders, handlebar risers, a Zero Gravity smoked windshield and a black, carbon-fiber Two Brothers exhaust.
It will NEVER compete in the "rat bike" category again!
One has to believe in the power of redemption . . .
