My back does bother me some, but I do have highway pegs on my NH and they feel good. But seems on the NH I pick up every bump in the road. And the pot hole are killers. Seems there are a lot in Iowa and Nebraska. And my butt really hurts after 40 minutes. I thought the heavier bikes would have better suspensions. I recently was told really fat tires you the best ride. But I don't know much about those kind of bikes. I like sporty I have a NH, but comfort is my top priority as I age. The Goldwings would be really big in my garage, and I don't see many used available around here. I came close to buying a Goldwing about 8 months ago, at a deceased neighbors yard sale. I was afraid to make a spot decision, and someone else grabbed it.

Well they have sport as part of the name. Basically they are comfortable sport bikes, not meant for highway pegs, or sissy bars. I just assumed since the OP mentioned a concourse he was more performance oriented, or has lower back pain when riding a feet forward bike.

Thanks for the input. I know very little about the chrome bikes. I am surprised that no one suggested a shadow Aero or magna or Harley. I will have to see what's available and what I can afford. When you look at the reviews of the sport-touring bikes it seems there are no perfect bikes. Seems like they all need some upgrades or revisions. handle bar risers, lowering struts, head gasket leaks from overfilling, difficult repairs .or buzzing engines. You would think that highway pegs and a flip up passenger back supports would be standard on a sport touring bike. It almost makes me want to get one of those $500 custom seats for the Nighthawk.

If you are ok with an older one there are alot of good deals out there ---Original Message--- From: [email protected] Sent: 3/29/2012 9:25 am To: [email protected] Subject: [Nighthawk Lovers] Cruse bike. I have a question on motorcycles in general. I have been thinking of getting a new bike... a Kawasaki Concours. I like their sportyness, but now I have been reading the Concours has an annoying buzz, highway pegs are very difficult, they run very hot, and require a boat of upgrades like handlebar risers, cruse control and stuff. I want a bike I can take a 4 hour trip without stopping because of road or chain vibration, small tank, and a sore butt. What bike would you suggest, if your main concern was comfort?
