Welcome Kevin,
I'm kind of new here myself but have found this site to be a great source of information and so far a very friendly bunch of Concours enthusiast. So the C-14 has made you think about how Harley justifies it's price point with relationship to performance? I've ridden Kawi's for years and the Concours has always been my dream bike. I am a proud owner of a first generation Connie... and I LOVE it. I wish you much happy and safe riding on your C-14.
Bob
