Sprint ST Life is full of compromises, as are many motorcycles. The Sprint ST, thankfully, doesn't have to make any. It's a sports bike that covers miles, a touring bike that carves corners with a truly usable mix of poise, power and all-round practicality.

Default I'm torn to buy ST now or wait for Concours?

The ZX-14ish Kawi Concours is looking real interesting in this market, but wait until.............??

Anyone pondering the match up between the two very different, yet same class bikes?

I think the new Connie is more like a FJR than a Sprint.

Thumbs up

I have a 2006 ST/ABS...it's much lighter and somewhat shorter than the new Concours. The 1050 mill is plenty of torque and power. (2) hard bags are included in the deal. Not much to figure here -- if flat our racing is your thing, get the new Connie -- if not...get the curve carving ST/ABS

Default Carving........that's me

straight line is for draggers........blechhhh!

Gimme curves, like the Dragon, here in NC (other side of the state though)

Same weight? Wow thought Sprint would be lots lighter, lots?

Plus I can buy a Sprint and get a lil' 600 track weasel for the same price as a coni?

Local says under 10k out the door on 06 hardbags.

ABS huh? never done it except on cars? I figured having multiple bikes, having one ABS would get me into trouble? Can you comment?

Thanks
