Has anyone on here looked at this bike yet? I have been deciding between a Uly and this bike and cant make up my mind since they updated a few things. And for me the big thing was the heat and windshield and all that seems to be addressed. Guess 2010 will be the year of fixing heat issues!!!! But I cant wait to demo one again.
Here is the linky thing

Boy, that's a big difference between the two. As an ST1300 owner I can tell you the C14 is a real nice ride ( a buddy has one) is well made, low maintenance and you can ride all day.
With the Uly, you can go many places the C14 won't, is probably a whole lot more fun to ride, gets much better fuel mileage and comes with a great group of enthusiasts.

Updates to the Kawi look good - I never rode one, but my biggest gripe was so little storage and they fixed that.

To be honest, I'd have a hard time choosing between the two. The Uly is everything you need, the Kawi is everything you want. Neither is bad.

I've never had heat issues with either of them. I wear good gear.

Uly does more stuff.

All the connies bodywork does for me is make it easier to lose my licence.

>>>Has anyone on here looked at this bike yet?

I haven't.

But . . . I have NEVER seen a Concours ridden poorly.

On three memorable occasions, in the hills of California, I have had my ass handed to me by Coucours.

Haven't looked at one in years . . . don't have much interest . . . but they have, like the KLR, always been a great buy for the money and a perfectly capable motorcycle.

Two guys that ride with the local Buell club every month each have a "Connie"...one guy last ride bent a footpeg on a Bott's Dot...and he had long since "beveled" the peg from dragging it.

Yeah, they do pretty good...way too massive for my physical size but a pretty good machine.

sport touring motorcycles sure are selling in this area. I've been to several dealers and they either only have one or they are sold out completely!

As far as which motorcycle to get, it depends on what type of riding you do. If you plan on touring and doing long distance riding, get a sport touring motorcycle. But if you do all kinds of riding, the Ulysses would be the better all round motorcycle. It's lighter and handles better for riding around town. I still wish Buell would make a true sports touring motorcycle with full fairing bodywork and an adjustable windshield for the highway riding.

the Concours are nice, That is the bike Buell needs to destroy with a 1125ST.

I like the KLR 650 but it looks like it has a broken nose.
