I believe this statement to be true...after I got rid of my Voyager last year, I did some serious researching, wanting to get back to the performace style I experienced last with my FJ, but still wanted a little more "touring" than that hard-edged FJ profile was prepared to give...the Bandit was an option, and had the performance aspect locked-down, but again was very uncomfortable for the long haul and had no cargo space from the factory, so everything would cost to add-on if you wanted luggage space, and who knows how the luggage would affect the ride and handling....so I glommed onto the Concours, and about 3 days after I had decided to start looking for one, Craigslist here in the San Francisco Bay Area popped up with one down in San Jose for $1000 that had some cosmetic issues, but was complete and ran. Say no more!
