General Comments

After owning the old '86 Kawasaki Concours for over a year, I am still sticking with most of my previous review. It now has 47,000 miles on it, and is presently in the shop getting new plugs and wires. The compression was tested and two cylinders were found to be 30psi below the other two. I'll drive it until it croaks then I'll find a newer one.
I've added handlebar risers and a Givi trunk, adding to the comfort, and I may add a better windscreen. There's still nothing like it anywhere near the price range: under $8,000 new. Too buzzy for you? Go shell out 15 to 18 grand for a Honda ST -- even the BMW is buzzy. That's more than my car cost: A Toyota Corolla with air conditioning.
