Someone near me had a Concours for sale recently. I read an old review of it (along with the Honda
ST1100 and one other bike which I forget). They liked the Concours, but said it vibrated a lot,
comparatively. Did you experience that?
I'm looking at Honda PC800s, which seem to be in a category by themselves: set up like a touring
bike, but a smaller than the Concours and ST1100 - and certainly smaller than the Goldwing and its
competitors.
