Same mill, but tuned for low-end torque and midrange.

Although, a concours would be pretty sweet too... why not have both?
Ah, yes! Both. Maybe in a couple years I could swing that one. A garage comes before another bike.

You could probably accessorize the Z-Rex like the Concours if you wanted to. Hard bags and a taller windscreen, perhaps? I'd love to have a Connie, too, but I think my next bike purchase will be for the dirt.

The rest of th ebike is totally different. I have a 33" inseam and can barely get on a strom. I think they were made for the NBA. :P

I'm with you on this one. I almost let practicality win me over this winter as I just about pulled the trigger on one of these myself. I never thought that I would get over the looks, but at least they are better with a black frame. It really has to be the most comfortable bike that I have ridden.....

Yeah there's always the silly but useful Beetle Bags from Corbin -

All mine for a low 1199.99.

I also saw a couple guys put larger cruiser fairing on one with the round headlight mod, and it looke silly, but you could remove it when you weren't touring. The bags are too much though. I know I could find some Givi bags for less.
