Return of the All-Day SportbikeA funny thing happened on the way to Adventure Touring bikes dominating the landscape. They killed the lightweight sport-touring machine. Think back. When the Honda VFR/Interceptor was at its technological peak, it was chased by machines like Aprilia's Futura, Ducati's ST series, Triumph's Sprint ST and GT. These were all machines with a sporting pedigree—some stronger than others—that embraced the idea of the "all-day sportbike." That is, a motorcycle more comfortable than a hard-core corner scratcher that didn't give up every inch of performance. Further up the scale, you have bikes like BMW's RT, Honda's own ST1300, the Kawasaki Concours 14, Yamaha's evergreen FJR1300, and more—all capable long-distance runners but so much bigger and heavier than any sportbike worthy of the title. So where did the riders who bought VFRs go when they wanted a new, multi-role, touring-capable bike? That's right: to ADVs. a Photo Gallery: 2014 Honda VFR800 Interceptor | FIRST RIDE Photo Gallery: 2014 Honda VFR800 Interceptor | FIRST RIDE Click here for full story...
