OMG what have I done.  I just purchased a new Concourse 14 sport touring bike. I will be picking it up a little later this afternoon.   Still keeping the VTX1300.  Now I will have 2 -1300s.  A new style of sitting , riding, speed ,and control to learn.  I am pretty worked up about it.  http://www.kawasaki.com/Products/detail.aspx?id=220

Congrats...I've heard very good things about that bike.  I guess everyone is moving up to sport & sport touring now.  Pretty soon, there won't be a Houston X Riders group anymore. 

I'm only giving you six months before you have the X sold!

I believe Heirloom has one; he seems to be pleased with it, and he's had it awhile.

ABS or non?  That's probably my next bike.

Yep got the ABS but as of yet I have not tested the ABS.  Its still to new

Well; I have some first impressions.  This is one bad a$$ bike.  Its the smoothist most comfortable thing I've been on.  And man does it have power. Now I just have to learn how to control it. At this point I'm just taking it easy and learning.  I can tell it has all the power that I will ever want and more.   I'm also very impressed with the handling but I'm comming off a crusier.  The only negative I see so far is that the bike puts out a lot of heat.  However I feel that most bikes with this size engine are going to throw heat. Its nothing that can't be handled but this is not a bike your going to wear shorts on.

That's been the single biggest complaint about the C14 that I've read... lots of heat, particularly on the right leg.

I rode a ZX11 for 10 years, and I'm looking forward to getting an inline 4 with good handling again...in a bad way.

Congrats Dave. Gabe told me about your purchase yesterday.

I was in Phoenix two week ends ago and rented a C-14 and took it up into the mountains for a day.
Great bike.

...and now that you're on a sport tourer....

you can wear stylish full body tight fitting riding gear, sport an ascot around your neck, punctuate your speech with European phrases and drink green tea.    So many benefits.
