| Kawasaki's profilation of this bike | 
  | Because it’s a Kawasaki, the Concours 14 is naturally designed to do much more than just take a rider from point A to point B.  Thanks to its sporting heritage, the new Concours 14 is not only an awe-inspiring road burner, it can also carve up mountain roads like a true supersport bike. For those riders who cross state lines the way others cross town, this machine offers more excitement than anything else in its category. |
