hi im rideing a touring 150 and love it, i am 51 years old, i weigh 260 and i can do 60 on a flat road , 55 up hill. i think it depends what kind of rideing your going to do, i am doing alot of cruseing, not much stop and go, where i live in florida its a 5 mile, 55mph ride to anyware from here .....lol on sat and sun, i go for nice long rides, 20,30 or 40 miles one way, not alot of in town driving, and it has a big over sized seat!.

....so i would suguest the touring, however the sport has a rep for going faster, less body work, and real nice for scooting around town, but not so soft a seat. both have the same engine so that doesnt realy mater i dont think, but the sport does not have the windshield (that i love!) to slow it down more. and it looks alot sportier than the touring. you can tell im in love with my bike i think. :shock: for me the touring is perfect for the comfort on those long rides, added a cd player on the radio so i cruse listening to my favorite cds wile i watch florida go by. anyway.....i think if your going to do alot of in town stop and go rideing i would suguest the sport. if your going to spend most of your time on the open road i suguest the touring....
i dont think you can loose any way you go! good luck with your choice! :?:
