The Kawasaki Concours™ motorcycle is
designed for well-seasoned sport-touring riders who demand spirited
performance from their machine, as well as the comfort and convenience
needed for extended road trips.
As a true sport-touring motorcycle, the Concours handles twisty backroads as
easily as it cruises the highway, thanks to a rigid chassis and 997cc
liquid-cooled four-cylinder engine. The engine produces strong power
throughout the rev range and a gear-driven counterbalancer smoothes
vibration. The engine is matched to a six-speed transmission to keep the
engine at a relaxed rpm at highway speeds.
Of course, comfort is a high priority on the Concours. It features a
triple-density foam saddle, which is deeply contoured to comfortably seat
both the rider and passenger. A full fairing creates an aerodynamic envelope
for two when riding in a relaxed, upright riding position. Two lockable bins
are on either side of the fairing for added convenience.
The Concours also features a 7.5-gallon fuel tank for long-distance touring,
and locking luggage detaches with the flip of a latch for overnight trips.
Plus, the smooth flowing lines of the Concours adds an aesthetic touch, and
special panels can be secured to the sides when the saddlebags and mounting
brackets are removed. |
