The engine in the Concourse leans more to the sports side and tends to be
buzzy at speed. This buzziness does creep into you butt and arms and ensures
that you get off long before the huge fuel tank goes empty.
Fuel economy, never ever given this one any consideration when buying a
bike.
The saddle bags are excellent.
Tires - I usually stick with Metzlers.
Other bikes to consider - Honda ST1100/1300, Yamaha FJR, BMW RT
re Yamaha FJR - never owned one but damn I like this bike and have heard
lots of good things about it. I am thinking .....
