I don't think terms like 'sport tourer', 'sport cruiser' 'power cruiser', 'tourer', 'sportbike', or 'dual sport' are difficult to define clearly at all.

Sport tourers: ST1300, ST3, FJR 1300...
Sport cruisers: Mean Streak, Warrior, Hammer...
Power cruisers: M109R, Rocket 3, V-Rod...
Tourer: K1200LT, Goldwing, Vision, Venture, Ultra Classic...
Sportbike: GSXR, CBRR, Ninja, R1...
Dual Sport: BMW GS, DL 650/1000, KLR, Ulysses....

There are grey areas and crossover bikes that blur the lines, but most are easily put in a category once the category is defined.
Well the HD- night rod is a standard because it has a fairing and my old honda dirt bike is a touring bike because i have a tank bag and tie down my back pack to it when i go out climbing in the woods and the (pre2008) ninja 250 and 500s aren't sports bikes because because you sit up too much on them... oh yea and the Ulysses isn't a Dual purpose because its just an XB with a high fender and the orginal gold wing was a standard not a touring bike, unless you put a fairing and bags on it... and....

WHO CARES! what is the big deal? are you trying to start an argument (IE Trolling)? or did you actually have a point? and speaking of that, where are Standards in your list? where does the Honda 599 fit in?
