The '''ZG1000 Kawasaki Concours''' (known in Europe as GTR1000) is a 997cc, six speed, four cylinder, liquid cooled [[sport-touring]] [[motorcycle]] with a shaft drive. It has enough "sports" power to cruise at triple-digit speeds and is designed to negotiate twisty, canyon, mountain, or back-country roads with ease. With a full fairing, tall windshield, two removable locking luggage cases, and a 7.5 gallon gas tank that uses regular unleaded gas, The "Connie" will carry its pilot and passenger, plus accoutrements, across a continent in relative comfort and economy hence the "touring" part of the "sports-touring" depiction. The main difference between the GTR1000 and the American "Concours" is the GTR1000 has between 10 and 20 percent less horsepower depending on the regulations of the importing country. | The '''ZG1000 Kawasaki Concours''' (known in Europe as GTR1000) is a 997cc, six speed, four cylinder, liquid cooled [[sport-touring]] [[motorcycle]] with a shaft drive.

The Concours may be the best definition of the "ultimate utilitarian" motorcycle, since it has been around a long time, is generally very reliable, can be used for weekend "get aways," for multi-week cross-country excursions, is an able commuter bike, can handle many errands, and is considered the best [[motorcycle]] value in its class. Often referred to as motorcycling's "Best Bang For The Buck". | The Concours may be the best definition of the "ultimate utilitarian" motorcycle, since it has been around a long time, is generally very reliable, can be used for weekend "get aways," for multi-week cross-country excursions, is an able commuter bike, can handle many errands, and is considered the best [[motorcycle]] value in its class.
