I never owned a Concours but one of my most frequent riding companions did. I have put quite a few miles on his. Never really liked it. Talked with a guy at the Denver Motorcycle show two years ago standing next to the FJR. He didn't see any advantage to the FJR. Felt the Concours was every bit as much motorcycle for less money. Interesting how I didn't like the Concours and didn't agree with anything this guy said.
I am not trying to start a Concours argument by the way. It just did not suit me.
