Ive recently sold my BMW k1200s and in the market for a new bike. I have done a search of your forum and seen many comparisons between the Concours and the BMW GT but not many to the 1300 besides a few in the sport bike mags. I have owned several liter bike, one busa and one 919. I use my bike mostly for a short daily commutes to work and one or to long distance trips a year. I had some mechanical issues the the 1200s. That along with the great price on the Concours make the bike very attractive deal. I do have a few questions. I'm looking at a 2011 with ABS. Does the bike feel overly heavy for a short commute? How is usable is the luggage( waterproof and easy of removal)? The bike seem to be very reliable. Any maintenance issue that I need to watch out for long term. Is it worth getting the extended warranty? Thanks is advance for any input.
