Hello everyone. I'm looking for some advice on a 2000 Kawasaki Concours 1000 as a first bike. I am 6 feet 290+ pounds looking for a bike that can haul me around, carry stuff for long distances and be comfortable doing it. The thing is, I dont really have a lot of riding time under my belt. I have used my friend 250 dirt bike maybe once for twice, drove a 4 wheeler a couple times and so one but never really a full blown motorcycle. Would a 2000 Kawasaki concours 1000cc be a good option?
This is a bit much for a first bike for sure . The other thing is maintenance . Are you pretty savy with doing work on bikes ? These older bikes require quite a bit of basic maintenance and repairs . It's getting hard to find mechanics that can and will work on our old carbureted beasts....at least ones that will do it right .
