Concours 14 in Brasil - adventure bike

[Haroldo_PSF]

Weird. Go here www.kawasakibrasil.com.br and click on "Produtos". You'll be surprised under the category where the C14 is listed. I was.

Hmmm, they don't have a Super Sport Tourer section.  I guess they guessed and stuck it there because it's always an adventure with this bike.

[MAN OF BLUES]

I've grabbed about 100+ ADVenture Tag-O-Rama photos on my C14.....so I say it is a true ADVenture bike....

Maybe Brazilians are just tougher than the average human? Where the rest of us would ride a 300 lb. bike with low gearing and high- traction tires, Brazilians ride a C-14 with racing slicks....? Now I have a mental image of a thong wearing Brazilian, 500 miles (or is that 700 kilometers?) up the Amazon, riding along in the rain forest.

I will tell you from experience, a C-14 is absolutely horrible in the snow. So bad that it won't climb a shallow driveway coated in less than 2" of snow from a standing start- letting the clutch out simply spins the rear tire. Amazing.

I bet this Nissan Pathfinder commercial was made for Brazilian market.....
Sorry for the hijack...................,not!
Nissan commercial

You're right, that's totally  .  However, I've always wondered how independent suspension worked.  To say that this opened my eyes is an understatement to the engineering involved.

In case anyone has any bright ideas on following up with another video along this line.......don't.

[Caffeinated]

That's the new "independent silicone suspension" Nissan's been working on!

That babe has Mad Skilz!
Back on topic... sorta. In college I met a Brazilian who said back home he raced motocross. I asked what kind of bike he raced and he said a Triumph Bonneville.
