New Concourse in 2020
« on: October 19, 2019, 04:44:40 PM »
I'm led to believe there is to be  new Concourse released in the States in 2020 sometime .....I'm sceptical

Any one else heard this rumour ?

It is not an airport- please, for the love of motorcycles, correct the spelling of this thread!

(It is pronounced "Con-kour", not "Con-course" )

Of course you can conquer the concourse on your Concours, but you might source a ticket from another force...  (I will stick to my day job).

Well, that certainly isn't the case for 2020, which is 100% the same as the 2019.  Perhaps it is a rumor for something in the works for 2021?  That would be great, since if they drop the Concours here without something similar replacing it (like they did most everywhere else), they won't have a true sport touring platform anywhere anymore.

At the Kawi dealers, I always get a funny look when I pronounce the bike as "Kon-Koor", and for anyone attending a Concours car show, there are still a lot of people there who murder it. Sacre bleu!

Indeed that is how it is spelled.  But it is pronounced "Con-kour" or "Con-koor" (the "s" is always silent), it is from the French concours d'élégance  https://www.dictionary.com/browse/concours-d-elegance

Other words that end in a silent "s" (which are often of French origin) include: apropos, fleurdelis, debris, chassis, rendezvous, bourgeois, faux pas, Arkansas, Illinois.

Say it how you wish, but know there is a wrong way and a correct way (I didn't make the rules!)

I guess I wonder if they are still the same MSRP price as the 19, or did it go up in 20?
Ain't buying, just wondering...

Ride safe, Ted

It is the same. The price went up $100 for 2017 and has been at $15,599 ever since.  The funny thing- even though the 2020 is exactly identical to the 2019, they have posted a $1,000 savings now on the 2019.  If I bought one, I would have to peel off that yucky, shiny black sticker with green stripes on the logo fairing.... hoping it is fully painted silver under it.  Or is that not a sticker?  Hmmm...

it doesn't matter... no one pays sticker price ... Kawasaki is unloading the leftover parts from previous mass production. Buy now because it will not last forever.

Yes Maxtog, it is a sticker. At least on the '19. Yuck.
I told the salesman it looks like they're trying to phase them out judging by the paint schemes they're putting on them...
Keeps the sales numbers down.
Haven't seen a '20 yet.
