Where do you get your information? The trophy is 20lbs less than the Concours.
If that's indeed lighter, it's my fading memory; apologies for that. But weight does not define a sport-tourer anyway, especially that difference. Sat on a Trophy next to a Connie, and it's no sport-tourer: chair-like riding position, massive fairing, and just adequate power and cornering clearance. What the heck do you find sporty on a Trophy??? Each can have its own definition of 'sport-tourer', but that's never been mine (sporty riding position, lots of cornering clearance, plenty of power, and just decent weather protection). The Trophy looks and feels massive compared to the Connie, so didn't question my memory of it being heavier. BMW also claims its whale K1600GT is a sport tourer, when it's just the touring GTL without the trunk and minimal ergo changes. It's like saying a Hyundai Elantra GT is a sports car because it says 'GT' in the badge. The only sport-touring comparo I read where a Trophy was included it landed dead last... but magazine tests are irrelevant to me, so never mind. BMW also calls the RT a sport-tourer, but after owning a 2014 for a few months, I consider it a light touring bike, just like the Trophy. Not as heavy or long as a Goldwing or K1600, hence the 'light touring', but touring nonetheless. BMW's true sport-touring bike is the K1300S, which I also owned. And runs circles around the Connie. The Connie is the least aggressive sport-touring bike in the market. But the moment you alter it to make it a tourer, like making ergos upright, lowering pegs because you never drag them, putting a larger windscreen for full weather protection, and adding a trunk, there's nothing sport left. You just converted it into a light touring bike, like a Trophy or RT. We're all heading towards that direction as we age and our bodies don't take kindly bent knees for too long, or too much weight on the wrists. But I hope to slow that trend until I'm past the double-nickel in a couple of years. But yes, when I get to that level, rather than trying to convert a bike into something it wasn't designed to do, will buy the correct bike for the purpose. And right now the Trophy and K1600GT would be my choices. Both are 'sportier' than a Goldwing.
