Hi,
     Well went out again today on some 2 lane backroads. Had an 18 wheeler in front of me just cruising in 5th gear about 60 mph behind it. Came to a straight away, clear and I just rolled the throttle staying in 5th. When I was halfway to over taking looked down at the speedometer and was doing 90! ::)

    The power is so smooth you don't realize how fast you are going sometimes. Biketoberfest is on the 17th I think might have to run over to the Kawi Dealer in Daytona and see whats going on?

I am hard on tires, but I got ok mileage and traction out of the BT-021's on my 2012.  The Angel GT's are definitely a better tire, but not good enough to just throw away perfectly good rubber. 

I got my 2012 new in February and have 11,600 on it. Love the bike.  Waiting on another front tire, I wish it would hurry because it's gonna get too cold to ride around here soon.  I hate the idea of parking this wonderful motorcycle.  ECU reflash and HID over the winter though, so at least I have something to look forward to.  You will love it. Try this. In the same passing situation, drop to 3rd and pin it. It might just get your attention. Did I mention I'm hard on tires?

Yep, that is the way a bike should be- quiet, powerful, smooth, efficient.  That is why I like the Concours.
