i bought a new 1400 concours about 1 year ago. i now have over 28000 miles on it and can tell anyone interested, this is the bike to get. it is far more capabible at corning then i will ever be. it is the fastest touring bike i have ever been on. and it is reasonably comfortable for 1000 mile days. i have had no mechanical problems so far and don´t expect to have any
