Aprilia's SL 750 Shiver Sport maybe Tourer?

3856508406125024 Okay, so it looks like an out-and-out sport bike. But with the optional fairing and semi-rigid saddle bags, that would make it a sport touring bike, right? I'm dreaming . . . saw Susan Carpenter's LA Times piece on the fabulously sexy machine, and it was love at first sight. 750 cc liquid-cooled V-twin, weighing in at just over 400 pounds. The competition is, supposedly, Triumph's Street Triple, Ducati's Monster 696, and Suzuki's SV650. But for me, if I could choose, I'd have a hard time deciding between the Italians: The Guzzi Breva 750, the Ducati ST3, and the Shiver.
