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 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.

The '''Kawasaki Concours''', known in Europe as the '''GTR1000''' and in USA as the
'''ZG1000''', is a 997 cc, six speed, four cylinder, liquid-cooled motorcycle with shaft drive. It was produced by [[Kawasaki]] from 1986 to 2006. The bike can reach speeds over 190 km/h (120 mph), offers nimble handling and with its full fairing, tall
screen, twin locking panniers, and 28 liters (6.2 imp gal; 7.4 US gal) fuel
capacity is suited to cross-country two-up touring.


[[Image:2004Concours.jpg|thumbnail|left|200px|2004 Kawasaki Concours]]
==Overview==
Kawasaki introduced the Concours in 1986, based on their [[Kawasaki ZX900A|Ninja 900]] and [[Kawasaki ZX1000A|Ninja 1000R]] models. Key differences between the Ninja 1000R and the ZG1000 included 32 mm instead of 36 mm carburetors, less aggressively ramped cams, shaft drive, front and rear sub-frames, hard luggage, and full fairing. 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 Concours was
introduced into the USA the year after the slightly faster (137 mph) [[BMW K100LT]]
at less than two-thirds the price of the [[BMW]] machine. Both bikes were tested by
the magazine ''Motorcyclist'', which came out in favor of the Kawasaki concluding
that it was "the most practical, useful and competent motorcycle made" and
"superior to the BMW in almost every aspect imaginable."
 
 
From 1986 to 1993 the design was largely unchanged aside from modifications
to the screen, handlebars and other very minor changes. In 1994 Kawasaki updated
the instrument cluster, forks, controls, front fender, front brakes, and the
front wheel. From 1994 to 2006, the design again experienced only minor changes:
fork protectors and exhaust tips. As the Concours first generation endured with
few revisions, experienced mechanics and used parts are readily available.
The GTR1000 has 10 - 20 percent less horsepower than the US Concours, varying
by country.
 
 
 
In an era when the evolution of a motorcycle model may seem as short-lived as some women's fashions, the Concours is unique in having been around since 1986 without many revisions.  A Concours manufactured in 1986 looks largely similar to one manufactured in 2006.  Due to its longevity, many motorycle mechanics already have experience working on Concours motorcycles, which means a new owner has a better chance of receiving experienced service on the bike.  As well, for a do-it-yourself mechanic, there exists a substantial market for used parts that can be purchased at reduced prices through [[motorcycle]] salvage yards.  There is also a fair amount of after-market accessories available to a Concours owner to better personalize his/her vehicle.

The front suspension was a  41mm Telescopic, air-assisted adjustable preload while the rear was equipped with a UNI-TRAK with adjustable preload, rebound damping and air pressure. The ZG1000 Concours was fitted with a 28.5 Liters / 7.5 US gal fuel tank. The bike weighed just 270 kg / 595 lbs. The wheelbase was 1554 mm / 61.2 in long.

The Kawasaki Concours, known in Europe as the GTR1000 and in USA as the ZG1000, is a 997 cc, six speed, four cylinder, liquid-cooled motorcycle with shaft drive. It was produced by Kawasaki from 1986 to 2006. The bike can reach speeds over 190 km/h (120 mph), offers nimble handling and with its full fairing, tall screen, twin locking panniers, and 28 liters (6.2 imp gal; 7.4 US gal) fuel capacity is suited to cross-country two-up touring.

Overview[edit | edit source]

Kawasaki introduced the Concours in 1986, based on their Ninja 900 and Ninja 1000R models. Key differences between the Ninja 1000R and the ZG1000 included 32 mm instead of 36 mm carburetors, less aggressively ramped cams, shaft drive, front and rear sub-frames, hard luggage, and full fairing. 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 Concours was introduced into the USA the year after the slightly faster (137 mph) BMW K100LT at less than two-thirds the price of the BMW machine. Both bikes were tested by the magazine Motorcyclist, which came out in favor of the Kawasaki concluding that it was "the most practical, useful and competent motorcycle made" and "superior to the BMW in almost every aspect imaginable."


From 1986 to 1993 the design was largely unchanged aside from modifications to the screen, handlebars and other very minor changes. In 1994 Kawasaki updated the instrument cluster, forks, controls, front fender, front brakes, and the front wheel. From 1994 to 2006, the design again experienced only minor changes: fork protectors and exhaust tips. As the Concours first generation endured with few revisions, experienced mechanics and used parts are readily available. The GTR1000 has 10 - 20 percent less horsepower than the US Concours, varying by country.


In an era when the evolution of a motorcycle model may seem as short-lived as some women's fashions, the Concours is unique in having been around since 1986 without many revisions. A Concours manufactured in 1986 looks largely similar to one manufactured in 2006. Due to its longevity, many motorycle mechanics already have experience working on Concours motorcycles, which means a new owner has a better chance of receiving experienced service on the bike. As well, for a do-it-yourself mechanic, there exists a substantial market for used parts that can be purchased at reduced prices through motorcycle salvage yards. There is also a fair amount of after-market accessories available to a Concours owner to better personalize his/her vehicle.

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".


An additional benefit to the Concours owner is the support of the Concours Owners Group which is comprised of helpful, knowledgeable and in some cases, quite passionate members who enjoy their Concours and like to help other Concours riders.
