Buell does not offer a sport tourer. Closest thing they have is the XB12XT Ulysses.
It's strange that the Motor Company has three entities (HD, Buell, MV Agusta), yet none offer a sport tourer. I say bring back the FXDX. Or build a sport tourer around the V-Rod mill.

Sport tourer
Nobody who buys a Harley for what it truly is could be after a sport tourer. That's kinda like asking for a Yamaha with a soul. So many people buy a hog, then modify it to become a different model. Figure out what you want before you buy but don't try to force that square peg into the round hole. Harley would make a sport tourer if that was who they were trying to be. It's like mounting hard bags on a dyna or guys riding an RK without the bags on it. Just silly.

A sport touring bike is what I have tried to build.
it was modeled after a Road King Custom.
Now the new switchback is also close to a sport
touring bike but it needs a fat boy front end on it.

FXRTs or T-Sports? Either way, maybe it's time I thought about a vacation in Florida... I'd love to have either of those bikes in the stable!

On long interstate runs I like to change up my seating position from time to time. One way I will put my feet on the passenger floorboards. Makes you sit slightly forward (feels great on the back), a little taller in the saddle, and gives another riding position. AKA like a sport touring.
