Stopping by to say hi and introduce myself. I am currently riding a Yamaha Super tenere 1200. I purchased to bike to ride with my father-in-law to a rally this year. I thought I was done riding motorcycles after the birth of my son, but the bug has bit me again.
I have owned a few different bikes. Honda CB 750 four, Rocket 3, Valkyrie, Triumph Tiger, BMW GSA, and the Super Tenere, and have always been intrigued by the Concours.
I am not sure if I am going to bite the bullet and buy new or look for a good deal on a used one. I have never owned a new motorcycle so this might be my first one. That said, I see Kawasaki has updated this bike 3 times with no real big changes since 2015. Are there any model years to avoid if I do decide to go the used route? I would probably try to buy a 2015 and up so I can have the all the updated bits that Kawasaki changed.
I am 6 foot 5, 230 to 240 pounds. Any tallish riders here? How is the comfort for those of you over 6 foot tall? How is the stock suspension for a heavier rider?
That is it for now. Wish I could use the search function as I am sure a lot of these questions have been asked. I will go back to lurking around.
Thanks for having me.
