SPORT BIKE PERFORMANCE, TOURING COMFORT

The Concours™ motorcycle is designed for the sport-touring enthusiast who wants the engine and chassis performance of a sport bike,

but demands the comfort and convenience necessary for those extended road trips that make life more interesting.

As a true sport-tourer, the Concours handles twisty back roads as easily as it cruises the highway, thanks to a rigid chassis and 997cc liquid-cooled four-cylinder engine.

The engine produces strong power throughout the rev range and a gear-driven counter balancer smoothes vibration. The engine is matched to a six-speed transmission 

to keep the engine at a relaxed rpm at highway speeds.

Of course, comfort is a high priority on the Concours. It features a triple-density foam saddle, which is deeply contoured to comfortably seat both the rider and passenger.

A full fairing creates an aerodynamic envelope for two when riding in a relaxed, upright position. Two lockable bins are on either side of the fairing for added convenience.

The Concours also features a 7.5-gallon fuel  tank for long-distance touring, and locking luggage detaches with the flip of a latch for overnight trips. Plus,

the smooth flowing lines of the Concours add an aesthetic touch, and special panels can be secured to the sides when the saddlebags and mounting brackets are removed.
