Not a big production like LeBron...
2011 Kawasaki Concours 14 ABS - Demo with 300 miles, my 1st new bike ever !!
Great experience with the dealer - Ellicott City Motorsports, that will make me travel past 2 other dealers to get my bike serviced, traded in the V-Strom after looking at the Multi 1200 and also R1200RT(thanks Falconati), had one of each on the hook, but the dealers weren't trying to deal on either the trade or the sale price, so I took my jar of pennies elsewhere.
Rode about 100 miles today - really happy with the choice, much better feeling than a 20 min demo ride, this will be my bike for a good while

Riding it today without going past 4500rpm too much showed me 46mpg not switched into Eco mode, but the ECO indicator was showing, so hopefully it gets better.

Not too many to begin with - gotta mount the topcase, get the Gerbing's hooked up, and that will probably be it til spring.
Yea - I believe that I made the right decision.
