: I was just about to express my distaste for the styling of the
: Concours, but then decided I'd better take a look at their
: current offering as I haven't looked in a few years. WOW!
: They've really improved the looks. Back when I bought my Yamaha
: I had looked at the Concours, but the saddle bags looked like
: bad briefcases left over from the 70's......

I always liked the styling of the older Concours, and I rode one for several years so I had plenty of time to
look at it :) It's a very good handling larger sport tourer with great wind protection.
It's replacement, the C14 is a nice bike, or so it seemed after several test rides.

I test rode everything on the market in 2008, including the C14, BMW's (2cyl and 4 cyl)and the only bike
that put a huge grin on my face was the Triumph Sprint ST. The Kawasaki C14 was my second choice.
I already had an FJR 1300, and earlier a Goldwing Interstate 1200.

The Sprint ST 1050 has been replaced in the 2011 Triumph USA lineup with the new 1050 GT. Similar styling,
same motor, but 3" more wheelbase .... damnit !

The last ride on my 1991 Pan European(ST 1100) in 2008 after 77k miles, and over 17 years. Great bike !!
I've never ridden an ST 1300 so I can't comment on it.
