PC vs. Concours comparison
Written by tacletter on 6/22/2012 at 06:40 am

I seriously considered a K75RT before buying the PC. The three K75's I tried
convinced my not to buy the RT version at least. I'm 5'8", my inseam is 30" or
so and every time I wanted to stop the RT I had to remember to pick my knees
straight up before I could put my feet down. The K75RT has a reputation for
cooking the riders in hot weather which isn't too bad living in Vermont like I
do. The PC was about a thousand less $ than the BMW's. I too don't like the
short range but I'll live with it.

Probably not. IF I had the money, I would look for a good condition BMW K75RT or
(even more money) a new NT700. Both seem more my style as far as
size/riding/carrying capacity.

will learn to live with the drawbacks of the PC and will most likely ride it
until it falls apart. Those drawbacks are easier to work with than the
dropability of the Connie. (And the listers are friendlier.)
