Hello from Okc. I was a COG member for many years with my 2002 "Silver Damm It" gen one Concours.
I liked that bike. Did my first Iron Butt ride on it.
I'm really into 2 stroke 500's.
I've had 2 CR500's but over the years I sold them keeping my KX500's.
I've gone thru many bikes since the Concours, settling with a 2011 BMW R1200 GSA, an old 95 Kawasaki Voyager and a 2006 Kawasaki Ninja 250 with low miles, in disrepair. I fixed the Ninja for friends to ride. I broke the transmission on the GSA a few years ago. I found a used trans, need to find the time to fix it. The GSA was my fix for going fast. So I'm down to the dirt bikes, and don't get me wrong, they are fun but lets get back to the street. Voyager...Ninja 250....fun but B-O-R-I-N-G.
So here I am just before Covid and my friend Cole calls me. "Hey, man. You won't believe this bike I just bought, it's a Kawasaki Concours 14." He's a great guy, been riding 7 years or better but only on a KLR650. I've let him ride my bikes so he invited me to ride his C14. I was hooked. Had to have one. I've been using Search Tempest to search Craigslist. Found a nice deal in Dallas but it sold before I could get my act together. Now with cash in hand I'm doing a hardcore search.
I'm willing to drive 10/15 hours for the right bike. I found it last week. Odessa Tx. A blue 2017 for $10,000.
Kelly Blue Book was $10,195. Here's the Crème de la Crème...3,123 miles with many add on's.
My screen name comes from the KX500 that hurt me real bad in late 2004.
"If you can start it you can ride it but remember, It's Danger4u2."
