FJR Rider goes 2000 on a C-14

I copied this from another site. Please don't jump on me. I'm just passing this on. Both the FJR and it looks like the C-14 are great ST bikes.

I am a 2004 Yamaha FJR owner living in So. Cal. Kawasaki provided me with a new Concours 14 for the past two weeks. It pays to know somebody....sometimes! WHAT A BIKE!!! I'm 6'1" 235 lbs. The seat was perfect, the windshield was perfect, handlebars perfect too! Those were all modified on my FJR. I've riden them all and Kawasaki designed the best SPORTtouring bike available today, by a landslide! This is going to put alot of pressure on Yamaha, Honda, BMW, Moto Guzzi, and others. Rode it in the desert, Coastal mountains, High Sierra, over 10,000 feet, way over 100mph for over 20 minutes. Still after all that I averaged 42 mpg! Got to go more later. Snakebite

Not saying it couldn't be so, but I'm sure he doesn't want to bite the hand that fed him.

Having ridden a C14 I have to call BS. The bike has some very good qualities but it's not that good. The seating position isn't all that great and neither is the windshield. This dude sounds a little too excited.

Not good enough to make me switch.

He should be excited Kawasaki gave him a C14 to use for two weeks, I'd be excited too. I just wonder if this was a post to stir the pot? I like my 07 a little bit better when on flat ground than when in the mountains and if Mama Yama doesn't come through with a fix then I will have a C14 myself.
