I think the concours is a very nice ride. They walked away with the best reviews for years. But as I watched you use that center stand. It appears that you were struggling. Not the best feature by what I can see.

I have an 05 concours. somedays it takes just a little effort, other days no matter how hard I try I can't get her up. I think it helps when you're taller and have some weight besides technique.

I did not read through all the comments, maybe this point is made else where. I had a 1992 Concours that was a real bitch to get on the stand my 2005 is a breeze. My thinking is that Kawasaki change the geometry of the stand at some point.

Nice video, thanks for the tip. Planning to buy a 2002 Concours w/14K miles on it as my next bike. This has been helpful.

No, I wasn't really struggling. I don't have experience with any other motorcycles, though, so I can't really say how the Concours compares to other bikes as far as the center stand goes. But once you get those 2 feet on the ground, it pops up onto the stand quite easily.

I'm only 5' 7" and 185 lbs. Anyone shorter than me would have great difficulty putting both (biological) feet on the ground while sitting on the bike and probably shouldn't get one for that reason. I'm pretty darn sure it's technique more than anything else. If both (center stand) feet are firmly on the ground when you push down and lift, it goes up easy. If the outside (center stand) foot is not planted, say hovering above the pavement, the required effort is magnified 10 times on my bike.

I don't know if I can carry on living not that you have called me an idiot. My feelings are so hurt. Boo hoo. BTW, in response to your other message (which for some reason I can't respond to - maybe YouTube has figured you out as a trouble-maker), I did not block you. I had never heard of you until I got this and your other message wthin the last 2 hours. I think you should shut up and go back to whatever method you normally use to take drugs.

Tony, great job on the video. I know how hard it is to talk about something you know a lot about once that camera starts recording, but you did a great job. Thinking about doing the same with my Super Blackbird so potential buyers know what to watch for. Look forward to watching more about the Connie.

@bikenutt1000 Well, I'm not really all that knowledgable, but I'm learning. I just wanted to set the record straight on some points, and give people an idea of what the Conours is like.
