: I always liked the styling of the older Concours, and I rode one
: for several years so I had plenty of time to
: look at it :) It's a very good handling larger sport tourer with
: great wind protection.
: It's replacement, the C14 is a nice bike, or so it seemed after
: several test rides.

: I test rode everything on the market in 2008, including the C14,
: BMW's (2cyl and 4 cyl)and the only bike
: that put a huge grin on my face was the Triumph Sprint ST. The
: Kawasaki C14 was my second choice.
: I already had an FJR 1300, and earlier a Goldwing Interstate 1200.

: The Sprint ST 1050 has been replaced in the 2011 Triumph USA lineup
: with the new 1050 GT. Similar styling,
: same motor, but 3" more wheelbase .... damnit !

: The last ride on my 1991 Pan European(ST 1100) in 2008 after 77k
: miles, and over 17 years. Great bike !!
: I've never ridden an ST 1300 so I can't comment on it.

ST1300 is WAY too heavy to be a reasonable sport tourer, it's a slightly downsized Goldwing.

The 3 cylinder Triumph motor is a wonderful machine, I've ridden a the Sprint and it's wonderful, just a bit to bent up for me and the Speed Triple which is way fun but zero wind protection. I thought quite a bit about the Tiger, but the Vstrom does everything it does for a whole lot less money.
