I think I missed the memo where they announced that joining Goaty's
Beemer and GB's Thunderarse on the list of "Superbikes that turned into
Sports Tourers without actually changing" comes...

The bike that passed me on the way home last night, with it's gearsack
rack and hard panniers and centrestand (surely together a _clear_
giveaway of touring status, no?)

It was a Ducati 996... (If I hadn't been on the Spada I might have tried
to keep up and work out how they'd wrapped the panniers round the
underseat exhaust...)

Only a few model changes and half a dozen years or so top go from a
race-rep World Superbike dominating sportsbike to a Sports-Tourer...

Johnny5, you were ahead of your time :-)
