Beautiful day in the RVA, and missing my bike in North Carolina, wandered during a walk in the sunshine to see the new bikes at Ultimate Cycle at 8321 Midlothian Turnpike in Richmond, Va. I like this shop and have been there before. Even cooler the General Manager Pete Daniel remembered me from my first visit there a few months ago which was cool. Bike at right is the Kawasaki Voyager, the big touring bike. I believe that has a 1700cc engine, and is a really nice ride! Bike is along the Harley-Gold Wing sort of touring bike, comes with a lot of features and would be just the thing for a cross country tour. A very good looking motorcycle! 
Last post I had (in this same position in that post) a Kawasaki ZX-14. Well, this is the Concours 14, which uses the same in-line four 1400cc engine which is in that very fast motorcycle. If you want to tour but don't want to cruise getting there, but have to "make time"...this is the bike to do it. The ZX-14 engine is very powerful though have read this one is slightly detuned from the sport bike ZX-14 Bike has a lot of cool features and is a very roomy bike. For those who want to tour, but don't want the weight and size of bikes such as the Voyager this is the ride to look at. It would also be a lot of fun on a twisty road. Some of the larger bikes do not handle like these do.
Finally, saw this Vulcan...kind of partial to Vulcan Motorcycles, in fact I ride a 1500 Vulcan. Liked this all black treatment of the bike (believe it is a 900 but would not swear to that). Thought it was well worth a photo though.Anyhow, will be back on my bike soon; got to get the battery this weekend ordered (you would think they would have them in a bike shop, but it does not work that way) and will be riding a few short days later. Been some great weather, Spring officially starts on March 20, but have been enjoying a great preview the last few days. Get out and ride, and enjoy it!
