As stated, to some in the motorcycle community, the Sprint is a sporty bike that can tour, and a touring bike that is sporty.
But I think the real answer is relative to which Sprint owner is asked the question. Some consider their Sprints as being sporty, ala lower bars, huggers, after market exhausts, pazzos, etc. While others appreciate the touring aspect via higher bars, larger wind screens, luggage, etc.
Both camps are correct, but the S in ST does come first.
