Hearty Salutations! I just picked up a dark blue 2006 Concours and had stumbled across this forum while doing a little pre-purchase research - specifically, I found this post:
http://www.zggtr.org/index.php?topic=574.0 entitled:
Topic: A Mostly Biased Review of the Kawasaki Concours (1986-2006) by Elvin Rivera - from May of 2011. It was excellent - and an indication of the quality of the forum. I am new to forums in general but became aware of their great utility from the KLR 650 forum that I joined last year (I also have a KLR 650, obviously!). Hopping off the KLR and onto the Concours is like going from apples to oranges! But after a brief test ride - I couldn't resist and the Concours followed me home yesterday. Attached is a picture - will get a better one when the car that's in the way is gone. I look forward to more good advice and information from the forum - thanks! Safe riding to all this fall. Phil
