Sportbikes are undeniably some of the coolest-looking bikes out there, and are the reason why a lot of people are drawn to motorcycles in the first place. Not only are they the bikes we see racing on TV, but they're striking aesthetics and colorful liveries really are a sight to behold. In terms of performance, meanwhile, sportbikes are, unsurprisingly, some of the fastest vehicles on the road.
Now, sportbikes are cool for all these reasons and more, but when it comes to commuting, they aren't exactly the best machines for the job. They get hot, and tend to struggle due to their limited turning radius. On top of that, they tend to have very aggressive ergonomics that are dedicated to performance riding. That being said, over in the Asian market, nearly all Japanese manufacturers have street bikes with smaller displacements that are modeled after their bigger, supersport counterparts. These bikes usually have engines no bigger than 200cc, and have much more relaxed ergonomics, making them ideal for daily use.
