I've owned my '12 Connie since new. Today I took it for a ride to New Hampshire traveling curvy & hilly roads. She serenaded me with a wonderful howl as I bombed through two-lane passes in 4th and ran like a fine Swiss watch leaving me grinning ear to ear. She still runs like new, and I can barely feel the engine at idle. This is one incredible motorcycle!!

Put some Techron through it and really watch it wake up!
No chit, mang.

'Black Bear' is now 10 years old with 98,000 miles and absolutely 0 issues besides normal fluids, tires, brake pads, 1 battery and 1 headlite bulb. I'm sure this thing will go 300k with a little luck- the engine and running gear is so bulletproof and under-stressed most of the time unless I'm wringing out some mountain sweepers 8)

These are great bikes.

I absolutely beat the crap out of my '08. If I put in less than 25K miles a year commuting then that's a good year. I also carve up the sweetest hillsides in this county all year long. What an awesome machine. 2 sets of tires and fluid change-outs every year have become a pleasure to perform.
