jnk · 09-11-2008

36. I suspect part of the reason you'll find more "mature" riders on the Concours is because most people under 30 simply can't spend that kind of money on a bike. I know I couldn't, anyway.

By no means does that make it an "old man's bike" like a BMW LT, or a GW. (Not that I have anything against them, they just have that reputation.) But I intend to keep this one until I qualify for the LT.

man if I had the funds I would buy a C14 in a heartbeat, I just cant hand down over 10K on a bike now...

BTW I am 24 and ride a 07 650R its still considered a sport tourer just half the price

As soon as the funds allow tho a C14 will be in the stable

i am 53 and the c14 is one of the bikes on my short list for next year the others are cruisers. i go back and forth it could be either on any given day.
if the wife would say get both it would be much easier.

I'm 53....sold a K1200LT to get the 14. The LT is a great bike.....the 14 is better IMHO.

55, I made the double nickel but can't drive it!!!

57. This is my first "non-cruiser". I'll never go back!! Price of the C14 was one of the selling points for me. Compare it to BMW, Honda ST, Yammie FJR. The C14 wins.

So since I'm 57, does that make me above average?
