    Thumbs up Brand new it is

    Brought myself a brand new Kawasaki Concourse 14
    I fianaly went and done it, after much procrastination and a couple of test rides i purchased my first ever brand new motor bike and i must say it is bloody awesome
    Picked it up after work yesterday and have alredy done 125 kms on it and covered it in filthy road grime last night. Like a dumarse i was so excited i forgot i had my tinted visor on when i left so i ended up riding in the dark with the screen fully up and my visor open and crouched down to keep under the windflow The screens on these bikes are a little short but i am sure there will be a longer one on the market soon Th lights are brilliant and the heated hand grips i had put on are simply wonderful
    Traded the meanie in cause i couldnt afford to keep it and have a brand new bike, I struggled handing the keys over though i must confess and when riding it into town i was thinking "what the hell are you doing" I woke up feeling a lot better about my decision this morning especialy when i went out to the shed
    Ill post some pics soon and let you know what i think of it So far though its all good and im looking forward to putting heaps of ks on it

    Congrats to you! I keep wanting to say "lucky bastard" when people get new bikes, but of course it's bugger all to do with luck and more to do with hard work and saving up, huh?

    about time kawakasi got a proper sports / hyper tourer, those things look seriously the bomb. I don't have a clue where ashurst is - its not near mianus but i hope its near some of the rest of the country so you can get out and do some long days in the saddle.

    Thats awsome. Its one hell of a bike to be your first new one.
    If I were in the market for a large bike that would be my #1 pick.
    I wish you well with your new stead.
