The Common Tread staff pitted three sport touring motorcycles against each other, as well as throwing a conventional sport bike into the mix as a benchmark. The three sport tourers consisted of a 2022 Kawasaki Ninja 1000 SX, a 2021 S 1000 XR from BMW, and a 2022 Aprilia Tuono V4 with a touring package. Lastly, a Kawasaki ZX-10R represented the sport bike contingent.
In a top-speed test, the sport tourers were clearly hampered by aerodynamic drag caused by their hard saddlebag-style luggage pods. The Kawasaki ZX-10R was able to reach a top speed of 181 mph, followed by the fastest of the sport tourers, the Aprilia Tuono V4 at 173 mph. Not coincidentally, the Aprilia featured the smallest — almost comically small — saddlebags of all three sport tourers. This point was truly hammered home when an improperly latched saddlebag fell off the Kawasaki Ninja 1000 SX during a top-speed run and it picked up 4 mph versus the same run with both pieces of luggage installed.
