Not a technical reply. The Concours is an awesome machine. My wife and I both looked at it and said no way. No disrespect for it in any way. Just aren't ready for the touring bike. Maybe it was just the image thing of owning a zx14. It was love at 1st sight when we saw it. We even bought the 07 candy plasma blue since they didn't offer the color for 08. Saved a couple grand, too. The 14 is a real head turner.
It's comfortable for short or long trips. If there isn't a casino or a jacuzzi within 200 miles, that's long.:) I did add the heli bars and extra foot pegs for my wife.
It's dangerously smooth. I usually get the tap on the shoulder about 100mph. I went 130 one time and asked why I didn't get the tap and she thought we were only doing 90.
If you guys ask why I took my wife that fast, it was unintentional. When you're cruising almost 80 and pass a couple cars, the acceleration is spectacular. It caught me by surprise, too.
I guess they fixed the low end power problem on the 08. I would have to drive the 08 to see the differance. It's not bad ('07) for around town driving. Doesn't bother me. Once you hit 6 grand, you better be holding on. It's alot o fun!
You'll be happy either way, eugino ss.
