My 86 Voyageur and 84 Voyageur SP had very similar feels- I no longer have the Voyageur- but still have the VSP. The fit is VERY different than the M1000LT or the 620 or 720. I would definitely say sportier- I think because they feel smaller. I think the STA is much steeper than other touring bikes.

I would say my 85 620 is the most "Cadillac Eldorado" ride out of the tourers I've ridden.
