Greg, just watched the 360 with the new BMW K1300 GT. In addition to all the cool stuff they were talking about, did I notice a left side only turn signal switch? Howsabout another suggestion for a head to head, with Clem as one of the riders:
BMW K1300GT vs. Moto Guzzi Norge vs. Kawasaki Concours 1400
Those last 2 had me checking resale on my Harley, just not ready to give up the huge storage, stereo, and cruise control on the Ultra.

Add the Moto Guzzi V7 Classic to that list although I hear it's a "Europe only" bike.

Alot of good ideas. I'd also like to see the other end like the Suzuki Gladius and the Kawasaki ER-6n

I can't make any promises (I'm subject to editorial veto and the whims of test bike availability), but if there is strong support for one or more comparos then I'll do my best to make it happen.
I notice that test riders at Rider have a passion for sport bikes. Sure, I think sport bikes are fun or else they wouldn't be sport bikes. 
I'd really like to see more of the other bikes evaluated too. I ride a standard. For me, I can't keep more than one bike so I had to get a bike that can play the role of commuter, sport, tour, around-town, and generally do everything well without specialization.
My ride is getting old and I'd like to see how you guys evaluate non-sport bikes in a spectrum of conditions. Not on a racetrack because the rest of us don't get to ride our bikes on a racetrack. That's not real world for us.
