Hello all! I just purchased a 2017 Concours and I am excited to take it everywhere (or have it take me everywhere I should say). I'm in the Sacramento CA area and am a few years out from retiring from law enforcement. I used to be a police motor, riding a 1200 RT, and I wanted something comparable but not a drain to ride or fix for my personal life. I've also ridden the BMW GT which is comfortable, but a beast and not what I want to be riding. Got my risers and taller windshield and it's perfect. The only thing I will need fairly quickly is a top box that somehow comes with arm rests. Yes, I've looked at the past forums back to 2006. My 10 year old boy wants to go everywhere with me and now can't since I don't have the GT. My wife won't be riding at all so it's just my little guy and me. I'm looking forward to longer trips with others as well as working events such as Ironman or several day bike race Tours. Thanks for the forum and I am sure I will be learning a lot here!
