I understand, from what I've read, that the ZZR600 is considered a sport touring bike. How well does it do in that capacity? Anyone out there ever TOURED on one of these machines?

I need real world in info

Fair enough. Now, keeping in mind that I've ridden up the coast highway in Ca. on a Yamaha R5 350, I've done a 2500 mile trip on an old Yamaha 650 twin, ridden through Death Valley Ca. on a 1972 Honda 500 four, and toured the southwest on a Honda 900F, what is it about the 600 that keeps it from being able to tour?

Real world info on the ZZR600

Well, that puts it in better perspective. You're right, of course. Almost any bike can be used for touring, depending upon the rider's persistence (as was the case with me, way back when, on my old Yam 650 twin). But after 100 miles or so, it doesn't matter what the bike looks like, who makes it, or how cool your friends think you look, all you want at that time is a bike that will cut it. Especially if you're looking at another 1,000 miles or so to go. Thanks for the input.
