I’m probably picking up a 2012 C14 this weekend. 48000 miles. Guy has owned it since 2019, has maintenance records. It has an aftermarket electronic cruise, aftermarket exhaust, tuned, the beautiful red/burgundy color. Will be going from a 1983 venture 1200 to this beast. Think it’ll be exactly what I want. I like to ride year round, so I want a tourer with all the goodies, but the fact that the power plant is the zx14 power plant and the bike should handle well makes me think it’ll be pretty much the perfect match for me.
Another great review my friend. I think you picked right. It's a gorgeous & great sounding machine. Do you still ride your Bonneville much? Have a great day! Cheers!!! Illinois
@larrywade9041 thank you so much! I ride the Bonneville all the time. There's just something about that bike... I love it. I will never part with it, unless it means I am getting a better version of that bike. Still my go-to for any short around-town trips. Did you end up locating one? Thanks for watching and for the kind words!
I have a 2013 ex sheriff c14 that i got for 1800 bucks. Has a lot of miles but runs like a clock. Get yourself some bar risers if you dont already have them and a better seat. The stock seat sucks, it squishes your man parts into the tank.
@alexandrehenri9508 thanks! It is the MRA - WVM in smoke finish. twistedthrottle.com/shop/body-and-fairing/windshields-accessories/windshields/mra-variotouring-screen-windshield-for-kawasaki-gtr1400-08-14-concours-1400-08-14-4/
My concourse 2010 it's got 78,000 mi on it it runs like it's brand new never had any major problems with it and I don't drive like an old an old man either even though I'm old
@@douglasgrosch228 since I purchased from a dealer, I can't confirm what has been done. However, with the aftermarket exhaust, it's very possible that it has been tuned. I will say this: it is very smooth and very quick, the last thing I need is for it to have more power. Lol. Thanks for watching and for the comment! Cheers!
@@cdm121880 usually say underneath the ecu with a sticker ect.. . with a number on it ! easy check.. they came from factory messed up jerky and rich fueling emitions purposes flashed and its like a new bike..
The opening clip is the first time I grabbed full throttle (first time really getting to ride the bike). I was in second gear and rather shocked at how hard it pulled. I was trying to keep an eye on the road but glancing down at the gauges and couldn't believe that I still had some room left on the tach. The acceleration is unreasonably smooth and rapid at the same time. What a rush. Thanks for watching and for the comment!
I'm selling a red 2009, around 55k miles, southeast PA. HMU! Great bike, used for some long-distance stuff a few years ago but I just don't ride much these days. And I have a 2003 BMW R1150RT-P that I want to fix up. But yeah, it's a comfortable freeway missile. It handles fine on the twisties considering its weight.
I have a 2020 with 6k miles on it. Wanted one since they came out. Akropovic exhaust makes it sounds awesome!
Kawasaki, BRING THEM BACK!

Loving the screen. Do you know the manufacturer by any chance?
Is it manageable through traffic / filtering? Thanks!

Additionally I laid waste of many bikes on the highway with my supposed old man bike

How much
@paintdoctormd I'm looking for $2k as-is. I'll install the crank sensor o-ring and a new battery prior to sale.
@@slosubies4845 I need it. Messaged you through your website.
