| Nice do they make a trunk for it?

| Looks like you are leaning more forward on this one than you do one the older Connies. I agree... where the traditional Connies were tourers with a modestly sporty “GT” mindset, this looks like a sport-bike adapted to afternoon touring... From the looks, I’m guessing this is taking dead aim at the FJR – nothing wrong with that, good company to be in -- but I looked at an FJR a year back and although I could picture myself on a weekend jaunt across the state, I couldn’t picture my geriatric butt perched on the FJR long enough to log much serious mileage... Of course once the COG aficionados and the after-market suppliers get done, the new Connie will turn up in as many different variations as riders have imaginations... Any idea what the fuel tank age is...

| The new Connie is a stunning bike, sure to give the FJR some serious competition. Heck, maybe even pull a few BMW guys, too!

| Wow, the "new" Connie is really gorgeous but that big honking ugly muffler is killing me.....Hopefully the aftermarket will be doing some homework and provide something better looking!

| as far a pipe for the concours, take a look at Area P and yes this blows away FJR's, BMW's and everything else that dares get in my way. I love my Concours, picked it up in sept. and have logged 7000 awesome miles from the coast hwy (CA.) to commuting to work everyday. there is not a better SPORT/touring bike on the market today. One of my sons has the new Hyabusa and his friend has a new ZX-14. three of us rule the road and have fun doing so. Commuting in heavy traffic brings a whole new meaning to traffic as I lay waste to everything going "slow" in the fast lane. What happened to "slow traffic stay to the right"?

| I just noticed that Two Brothers & Muzzy are making decent looking exhaust systems for the 14. Hmmmmm
