I bought a new Concours 14 recently. It's a 170hp I4 on a 687 pound bike that's built for touring - I suppose it's comparable to the Multistrada (although I like the I4 a lot more than the twin) its retarded fast. Faster than anything I want, and with ABS and traction control makes riding in inclement weather easier and safer. It's also really comfortable for touring. You get to retain the sport bike look and performance with the comfort of a touring bike.
Yea, sport-touering bikes are nice. Like I said, I never want to give up my pure sport bike. the 1199 is 190hp @ 380lbs...

I'm looking to add another bike to the stable for longer more comfortable rides as well.... the Concours is one of the ones im considering.... as well as Multistrada, and the Vrod.... nothing set in stone yet all just checking things out for now
