Ok, these are nice pictures, but what kind of MPG were you getting? We need folks to help us understand the MPG and what were the conditions?

Fast touring - MPG
Legal touring speeds MPG
Secondary roads MPG.

Come on folks, the machine reports the MPG. Anybody verified how accurate it is yet??

We will report back when we've had more time in the saddle! So far, mileage seemed to be comparable to the ZX-14... decent when ridden lovingly, atrocious when beaten and flogged!

Hope this helps!

Stay tuned, and welcome aboard! :THUMBUP

Wow, that was a fast response.

So How many miles have you done so far? What kind of MPG are you getting with the ZX-14 when being lovingly -- since you are reluctant to discuss the C-14??

I'm not reluctant to discuss the C14 in the least! We're busy doing 100 things at once here, that's all!

Like I said I'll get back when I've put ample time in the saddle!

When's your Connie due in?

Those of us in the USA -- we don't know. There was talk of being available in JUNE. I just had my sales guy contact the Warehouse and they have yet to see any C-14s in Omaha, Nebraska. If they have not made it to one of the main warehouses in the mid-west -- I doubt we will see any this month.

It's killing us that you guys have bikes and we don't!! I have a 3,000 mile trip planned mid-july. I hope it will be on a shiny new Concours 14. I figure it will be a couple more weeks of no sleep waiting for my dream bike.

I'm first on the deposit list in Denver, CO - no word on when one will be shipped. Sigh.... I'm stuck asking questions north of the border for my cycle fix.

Hang in there! It can't be much longer!

You won't be disappointed!
