Good comparison of two major RS competitors

Question: Is it a sport tourer if it doesn't use clip-ons?

For clip ons, look at the Kawasaki NINJA H2 SX SE for $27.5k USD, price range and features, it's closer to the BMW's.

These are two very nice sport tourers, I like them, I am glad to see them. But I won't trade in my RS nor my XR for one of them. I bought a Kawasaki ZH2 four months ago, a super naked, and I agree with the testers on Kawi ergo's, fit & finish, engine smoothness, and refinement in general.
