I’ve had two Concours’ before and they were both great fun. A bit large compared to my current bike but comfortable and loads of power. Just don’t try to run with the guys on the Gixxers and you’ll be alright.

And boy did the model need an update and upgrade! It looks slicker and nicer than before, I wonder what they’ll do with the pricepoint, which was a major selling feature.

stacius,

They’ll takeoff, and spawn an entire new category that everyone has been waiting for to boot: hyper-performance sports touring. Picking up a used Connie shouldn’t be too hard, but I know their owners hands will have to be pried from the handlebars as they love those motorcycles with a passion.

I hope these take off too! I want to get my hands on an older Connie for my introduction to touring.
I realize the Kawasaki needed something to compete with Honda and Yamaha’s offerings, but the ST and FJR are out of my price range! One of the things that was great about the Concours was that it was a decent bike AND affordable. I fear that will no longer be the case…

I’ve been looking for a personal rocket like this to add to the stable. Having just sold my King of Tupperware GL1800A (much to the chagrin of my wife), and dumping my American v-twins (hallelujah) it is time to get back to motorcycling.
