I have a done deal if i go ahead & decide to trade my connie in for a ninja 1000, its not an easy decision though. The concours is an OK bike, i've had it nearly 2yr's now, it's definitely a great ground cover'er i'll hand it that but i find it to have some quirks i just cant get past, I hate KiPASS, never had a problem with it but it gets old always making sure i'm not forgetting the fob, KiPASS is a ridiculous system anyways, i dont think a 600+lb touring bike is a hot theft commodity & the entire bike from gas cap to luggage removal requires a key so why not just have a regular key'd ignition???? I dont care for the wind noise & buffeting of the concours, im sure trying out different windshields would help this though. Weight is another big thing, its ok when traveling but moving this thing around the garage or hustling it down a back road i realize this thing is a big haas. Enter the N1K, its the only bike that really interests me for sport touring duty, i never really got on the adv touring bike band wagon, i've tried to like the new verseys 1K but it just doesnt do it for me. The ninja 1k seems to be the lighter weight, simpler machine im thinking i want. Another hang up im having is i also have a gsxr 1K, i dont like having similar bikes, im wondering if the ninja & gsxr would be similar in a way or still quite different from one to the other. Let me know what you folks think, i really do like/listen to others opinions/experience's
