Hi,
I'd be interested in why you left the Sprint for the C14??? Ride position only? The Sprint was one of the bikes I looked at before going with the Kawi! Just wondering?
It wasn't voluntary. I was leaving work and working my way to the exit of the parking garage when I crossed the yellow painted center line. There must have been some oil or water on that particular spot. The next thing I know, I'm sliding. Luckily, I was wearing full gear and got nothing more than a sore ankle where the bike landed on it.
The bike got rashed on the entire left side; bags, fairings, bars, shifter peg, forks, mirrors. It was pretty amazing the amount of damage caused by sliding about 6 ft. in a parking garage. I filed a claim with insurance and they totaled it.
I had that bike for 7 years and put 46,000 miles on it and it will be missed sorely.
However... I'm back to the Concours because I like the features and looks. The only big downside is the additional 150 lbs. of weight but I think I can handle it.
Half the fun of owning a new bike is modifying it to your own personal fit.
