It hasn't been hot out since I bought mine, so I can't really say anything about the heat. Some of the reasons I bought it were for the "brutish power", the "simplicity", and because it is more "old school." I really don't like a lot of unnecessary electronics. Ones that truly benefit by adding power, making it run better, etc are ok. I don't understand why you need throttle by wire when cables work just fine. Rider modes are also a waste. If you need the bike detuned, get a different bike. A smaller, less powerful one that you can handle. Electronic suspensions... I can twist a dial thank you!
When he says "it is definitely a physical bike to ride", I would have to disagree. It is the most "flickable" bike I own. I find the handling to be excellent! I do agree with what he says about it "holding a line" tho. I think the stock shield works just fine. I keep the vent open to the middle setting. When I want more air, I lower the shield all the way down. In cold weather, I raise it up until the wind noise dissipates. I have never had any buffeting at any speed. I also find the seat to be comfortable. I have done some 200+ mile days with no issue. I wouldn't go so far as to say I'm picky about seats, but the stock seat was one of the first things that had to go on my M109. I prefer the stock seat over the Mustang I got for my Magnum (bought the Mustang so my wife would be more comfortable when we ride 2up).
Now, the cruise control comments he made, I couldn't agree with him more! They could have easily added cruise control at any point without changing anything else on the bike. It would have been HUGE!!! I know of several people I've spoke to that said they almost bought a concours, but no cruise control was a deal breaker for them.
For me, it was just like he said. The lack of electronics means less that can go wrong. The price was definitely right. $13.1k OTD including 3 year additional warranty for a total of 6 years.
I seriously hope he is wrong about this being the last of the great Japanese dinosaurs! If they are still making them, I would definitely buy another Concours in the future when I wear this one out!
