Hi. I am new here. Just curious which sports bike to own if I want to go touring with my wife. Should be good for atleast 400 kms and it should have that proper sports bike feel if I am riding alone. I am not into proper tourer bikes. Thanks.

You have not specified any budget range or segment however depending on budget and riding experience, if it is a sports tourer you are after, here are some options that you may consider -

Kawasaki Ninja 300
Yamaha R3
Kawasaki Ninja 650
Honda CBR650R
Kawasaki Ninja 1000
Ducati Supersport 950

Yamaha might launch the R7 in India soon. Also, Triumph is gearing up to launch the Daytona 660 sometime later this year, an option worth waiting for.

Agree with //M's list above. Also echo that it'll help refine responses if you can add a ballpark budget to the criteria. Absent that, what //M has listed is most of the relevant options I can also think of, off the bat.

You could perhaps add the Aprilia 457, the Ninja 650 and the upcoming Ninja 500 as well to this list.

Adding to //M and Axe77 above. Another two bikes you could look at are the BMW R1250RT and maybe the Hayabusa.

As M and the others have said mention your budget and more importantly your riding experience. Even with a healthy budget one should have the riding experience to handle proper monster class bikes like the Hayabusa among many others.

Without the above details I would not be in a proper position to recommend anything.

Cheers

Have had the Ninja 650 for the past 3 years, clocking thousands of kilometres and it has been a wonderful experience.

Have taken it for multiple long tours, both single and with a pillion, breakfast rides, and even to the BIC track a couple of times.

Recommend to take multiple test rides, if possible before deciding on on of the bikes, as shortlisted above by M & Axe77
