Kawasaki Concours

I feel I got a lot for my money. It's an eye stopper too. Fantastic motorcycle. I have purchased a 2008 Kawasaki Concours in May 2008 and have put 7,200 miles on it so far.

It handles very well on the highway. Love the ABS brakes and the saddle bags.

Good quality, nice ride, have done 700 + mile days in comfort.

Have 29,000 miles and have driven from Mexico to Canada. Engine is bulletproof. No other repairs than tires and brakes. I expect to get over 100k on this machine.

The Kawasaki Concours is a bargain hunters find for a sport touring bike. It provides incredible protection with the full sized fairing and has loads of power as well as torque. With an estimated 85-90 hp at the back wheel you'll find no shortage even when loaded. The removable luggage is fantastic and the quality of the luggage is excellent. The large windshield provides excellent protection and if possible to much protection on a hot day. Some people complain about the Connie Buzz which I have found to not be an issue once the counter balancer has been set correctly. The bars can be heightened with heli bars and the foot pegs can be lowered. Fuel economy is about 33-in the city and about 37 on the hwy. The Connie likes to rev and is happier above 3,000 revs thus the fuel mileage. I get about 250 / 350 kms ciy / hwy to a tank before hitting reserve. The gas guage reads incorrectly but that can be fixed with a variable resistor or in my case just knowing what milage you get to a tank.After about 15,000 kms I love the bike.
