[QUOTE="fasteddy, post: 1460952, member: 99856"] I also came from a 2006 Connie. I loved that ride. When I got the 2023 FJR, the Connie went to my son. I also looked at the new Concours and the BMW1250. The Connie 14 just didn't appeal to me as much as the FJR. The BMW was $8,000 more for only a couple of additional features so the value was not there for me. My FJR has 8,000 km (4,800 miles for you guys south of the border). It feels much lighter than Connie although on a tip over it seemed heavier to pick up. I have the T-Rex tip over bars so not a mark, plus I was stopped. My helmet fit in Connie's bags but not the FJR. I have a large Givi case and it fits there. The FJR is so smooth and powerful but Connie had enough for me. I added cruise control to Connie. The FJR is better in almost every way except the mirrors are not as good and have more limited adjustment. The seat is not as comfortable. Not as much wind protection. At highway speeds you didn't get almost except your fingers and toes on Connie. The FJR is a wonderful bike with a mediocre seat. The only clucking I get is shifting from neutral to first at a stop.
