Doesn't even come close to my KZ regarding pulling but she runs well.... I'll go through the norm when purchasing a used bike such as compression and leak down testing, valve adjustments, timing adjustments, carb syncing, electrical measurements etc....
This is for two up riding w/wifey poo ( :pinch: ) so no performance building on her, just a strong running engine.
46K miles on her ...

I had a first generation and hated it. It was a 1990 in red I bought new. I managed 1300 miles and that was well enough for me. Good luck on yours though, many others have different thoughts, just did not appeal to me.Mcdroid wrote: People I have chatted with about the first generation Concours either loved or hated them,,,all agree that the OEM seat is terrible and to watch out for the sidestand, which has a tendency to allow the bike to roll forward and fall.
321,000 miles on KZ's that I can remember. Not going to see any more.

Just curious, how many brand new bikes have you bought in your lifetime?
