I'm not sure that's it, otherwise our bikes would be GTRs and not Concours.

Zillion Gallons - It's how much gas you want to run through these bikes as there so much fun to drive.

An honourable exception being Hondas ST1100/ST1300 , In the US they dropped the "Pan European" designation we had over here :)

Not always, to me anyway: C14 sounds better than "Con-koo", ZX14R sounds better than "Ninja" and CBR900 sounds better than "Fireblade".
