2010 Kawasaki Concours 14 - Give 'Em What They Want

Kawasaki instills a host of owner-requested improvements to the 2010 Concours 14 supersport-tourerFirst Ride
When Kawasaki resurrected the Concours label two years ago with its ZX-14-based (but basically all-new) Concours 14, the factory's original intention was to put more "sport" in the sport-touring category. With the engine and chassis lineage tracing directly to the biggest Ninja, Kawasaki engineers were looking to create a sport-tourer that was more at home carving mountain passes at speed than its forebear. And they definitely delivered on that goal; in our '08 hypersport-tourer comparison ("Long-Range Missiles", June '08), the Concours 14 bested the competition despite a few niggling issues by virtue of its superb all-around performance.inline_mediumwraptextright27869461/bikes/146_2010_kawasaki_concours_14146_1003_01_z+2010_kawasaki_concours_14+right_turn. jpgTrue
