Does the KTM 990 SMT make a good tourer?

The KTM 990 SMT takes an interesting spot between sport bikes and adventure tourers. It’s not the most upright or wind-protected riding position of pure sport bikes, but it certainly isn’t as purpose-built for long-distance comfort as dedicated touring machines. At the risk of dating myself, some owners swear by it for getting in the miles, saying the ergonomics are comfortable and the engine smooth. Some people complain of a hard seat, short fuel range, and highway speed vibrations. Considering the rise in popularity of sport tourers and adventure bikes, we thought we’d see if the 990 SMT can really cut it as a long-distance mount or if it’s more suited to shorter blasts and sporty jaunts.

I’ve done multiple 500+ mile days on my SMT with no problems. Its upright riding position and fair wind protection make for surprisingly comfortable long hauls.
