Concours 14

The Concours 14's ZX-14-derived 1,352cc inline-four puts 158 hp through a shaft-drive sport-touring chassis at used prices that have dropped to $6,000–$11,000 — the best power-per-dollar ratio in the sport-touring segment. Discontinued after 2022; pre-2015 models had documented heat management complaints and water pump seal failures at high mileage — verify full service history on any high-mileage example.
