Of course they did! I've been in love with the C14 since I borrowed one for a few months last year. The most comfortable and agile bike I've ever ridden. Also the fastest and most responsive.
Here's CycleWorld's Review: Speed. Power. Handling. Agility. Stability. Comfort.
Payload. It’s hard enough to pack all those endearing qualities into a
motorcycle, and it’s even more rare to find them in great quantities in
any one machine. But that’s what Kawasaki has accomplished with the
Concours 14. It dances through the twists and turns of backroads as
though that was its sole purpose in life, yet it glides down the open
road with the greatest of ease, chewing up the miles smoothly, easily,
comfortably. Read more and watch the video.
Yep, that's right. Here are reports from my travels on California highways and byways on the C14. And finally, my formal review for Women Riders Now.
Next week I'll be picking up a Kawasaki KLR650 for some serious touring from SoCal to the Lost Coast. When I told them the Lost Coast they said, "Where the heck is that!?"
I told them no worries, I'm not headed south of the border through Mexico, it's an abandoned section of Highway One up near Ferndale, way past Mendocino. They abandoned it because the road was not maintainable, and moved the highway inland where it wouldn't slide into the sea.
Thus, it exists as a remote paradise for Jeeps and dual-sports, hikers and campers. Perfect! Stay tuned.
