Pictures taken 30-June, 2007. 'After hours' at Rocky Mountain Kawasaki in Longmont, CO. Great staff, sales, parts, and management, for letting Rob and I take a peek (don't tell management we were there, or sales either). I think the other bikes in the picture are called cruisers. Too bad a lot of places don't allow "Crusin" |
|
| Rob trying the new C-14 on for size. Rob is 6' 5" tall, with a 36" inseam. Note his knees still don't touch the fairing | |
| From the other side. | |
| Yers truly. | |
| And again (what a ham. And bald too ;) ) | |
| From the RH side, looking back. Belly pan area. Note the single drain plug, and the spin-on filter. Oil changes should be a breeze | |
Ultra light weight 21dB horn (beep-beep). |
|
Looks better in person ;) Headlight is dual H-4's with two small lo-watt running lights (DRL) in the center of the headlight cluster. |
|
LH grip. Note the European type passing switch on the front of the switch cluster? Me thinks the initial production run of Concours-14's will be made for all countries. USA, EU, AUS, ... Them bar end weights look familiar? |
|
| A shot down the stem area. | |
RH side. Note the adjuster for rear shock damping... or is it preload? Way techie for me, but there's a knob there. Also note: 1) Lug for the saddlebag. |
|
| See above. Shifter linkage (shifter height) is adjustable like the C-10. This one looks to adjust easier though. And it looks to be less expensive to replace too. | |
Shot inside the rear of the RH air exhaust. Note the braiding on the rear portion of a radiator hose. That's my Ford outside the window, really! The color of the C-14 matches perfectly. Silverdammit. |
|
| Stem LH side. Do the black screw heads on the stem head look familiar? | |
Rear seat length. Dummy end of the tap is purd near the rear edge of the tank. Seat of the pants (sorry, bad pun) the C-14 seat is longer (pilot *and* passenger), but slightly narrower. I've been running a Russell for several years, so... |
|
| Just step on it, it's *that* easy. Rob demonstrates wearing squid gear. |
