As an aside.. I posted this on another forum just yesterday.. same topic.
Gee I dunno, realistically.. Where would have everyone liked to see a bike with all these new techno gadgets on them and the room and storage to weigh in at for a SPORT TOURER???
The original Concours weighed in at 595 lbs.
I think that anyone would love a 20 pound dry weight difference and pick up close to 50hp and almost twice the damn torque at the rear wheel from the A-1 version by the same name.
Couple that up with a new beefy shaft, a great looking frame neck and front end, a real braking system, better headlighting system alot of new techno stuff to improve performance and safety, And keep it under 13 grand for a non abs model...
What do some of you guys want?
A 1400cc bike made outta carbon fiber and titanium. weigh in at 400 lbs and of course safe enough for to be street legal for somewhere in the mid teen's?? in a major production model that can be made for the masses?
I'm sorry I'm just a little torqued on this but I just dont see the big deal between 10 or 20 pounds difference in weight on any bike from any manufacturer in the same class.
The difference in rider weight, luggage weight,how much fuel is in either bikes tank, did I **** this morning, did i take my water pill...
The point is, Nobody pushes their streetbikes to the extremes that would mean a pinch of **** if the bike was a couple pounds more or less one way or the other would have made the difference in a corner. If you do, well you'll prolly never read this anyway, either not able to read or dead by now.
Never let weight determine your buy... buy the bike that gives you wood and go have fun riding it to the level you enjoy.
See you on the road,
Jerry
