I love my 06 LT but it is a heavy beast and Costly to repair. As I just underwent a total knee replacement, I was contemplating a lighter ride. Looking at the Kawasaki Concours or maybe a St1300. As most of my riding is short trips and mostly around town, I ask myself do I really net this grand touring machine. The sport touring bikes are about 150 lb lighter and maybe a bit easier to handle. I know I will miss all the options like the electric centre stand, heated seats and cruise control, but thats the downside. I can pick up a new 2012 Concours for 15,999. at a local dealer.
Anyone have any suggestions here about which sport tourer to recommend. I know Yamaha has the FJ1300, which is very similar to the Concours. Honda has their V4 which is a very smooth engine. Just can't decide????
