I still don't have a lot of saddle time on the Wing yet, because Indiana weather, but I've made some observations on some similarities and differences between the two scoots. Now It's really comparing apples and oranges because they serve two different purposes, but both machines do one thing equally well. My Connie had a CeeBailey windshield on it when I got it so this could be considered an unfair judgment, but I'd say wind protection is pretty similar on both bikes. The engine sound was a little more growly on the Connie, but wind noise seemed pretty equal.
Stability. There;s a slight edge in stability on the highway to the Wing, which I assume is the larger frt wheel, and extra 120 pounds. Not by much though.
Handling. Not even close. The Connie is much more capable of aggressive cornering. Better tires. Stiffer springs, and more aggressive riding position. However, the wing is truly amazing. The 840 pound bike handles really good. Much better than the previous generation Wing.
Ride smoothness. Oh, man. I guess we all knew this one. This new frt suspension on the wing is a marvel of engineering. Most road imperfections just aren't felt. Only when a bump exceeds the travel of the shock will you notice.
Here's a weird one. Fuel mileage goes to the Wing. Not really broken in yet and getting 51 MPG on back roads and below 60 MPH. On the highway, it's dropping to 44. I was getting 41 on a good day with the Connie.
Transmission. No way to really compare them as the new Wing is a dual clutch Transmission. Shifts are instantaneous in both manual and auto mode. However, I still believe the tranny on My Connie was the smoothest shifing one of any bike I've ever owned. Loved that thing.
Horsepower/acceleration. Hahaha! Yeah. The Wing is respectable, and is said to run in the low twelves, but the Connie would absolutely destroy it without going over 7K RPM.
With the Wing in sport mode, it does give the feeling of brisk acceleration. It's a fun machine, and has over 100 pound ft of torque just off idle.
Overall, I'm having a blast! I'll put up more observations as I think of them.
