I love the big sport tourers like FJR1300 and Concours 1400. I thought I had my mind made up that I would look for a 2010+ used Concours late next year (when I'll be in a position to buy), but damn.....Kawasaki just threw me a curve ball. Have you seen the new Versys? The 2015 650 LT looks pretty sweet with the hard bags and top box. I don't really need a litre plus....my 600 Bandit has all the guts I need.....the bike is still faster than I am. I'm not planning any mega tours with my wife.....my bike is basically a commuter with the odd 3-4 hour trip thrown in.
So confused. I'd love the wind protection of a bigger fairing, but the versys can go pretty much anywhere....there are some groomed trails up by my family cottage that I could take the versys on that I would never take a Concours on.
The versys 1000 lt looks cool too and either versys would get better mileage than an FJR or Concours, and perhaps be more fun and nimble when I'm just putting about by myself.....
Sigh......I love motorcycles.......
