Title: New owner new to the forum Cincinnati
Post by: Zacharykro6 on April 23, 2016, 09:57:40 PM: I just picked up my Connie today, this is my first. It's my third bike and third kawasaki. I have done alot of research online including this forum and I waited for the perfect deal. Found the green 2015 in Louisville and I called around my a month ago to make sure it was there and there wasn't a weird stipulation to the advertised price. I got it brand new for around the price several used ones in my area were going for so I am happy.

I have ridden for about 5 years now. Started with an MSF course and a kz440ltd. I tuned the bike up and customized it and actually sold it for a profit so there I was hooked. I bought a 750 Ltd afterwards that I still have it is about the same color as the new kawi

Post by: Zacharykro6 on April 24, 2016, 12:01:31 PM: Thanks. I can't seem to get them uploaded on the phone, it only gives me the option to take a new picture. I will figure it out at work this week. Anyways I rode the bike over 100 miles the first day and I will be ordering lowering pegs and bar risers asap. I am disappointed a little with the windscreen I think it needs to be a half an inch taller maybe. The seat on the 2015 feels far superior to the 2011 I test rode as far as the OEM seat on the 2011 really crushed the boys

Welcome. My friend and myself both live in Cincinnati and both have Connies, we just did a ride to the Iron Pony today

I just went to IRON PONY for the first time a week ago, I will definitely ride there next time now that I have a highway bike. IT IS WORTH THE TRIP, I got 3 different pairs of gloves a hat and a sticker for like $50. And my fiance got a name brand helmet for an off brand price 8)

You can see the color is pretty close to my old bike. The honda is just something cool I saw at the dealership

Post by: tonedeaf1 on April 26, 2016, 08:30:06 PM: I left Cinci many years ago on a Honda ST1100. Got back home to Colorado and bought a C14. Best trade I ever made.

Welcome. Your post reminded me of all the hours I spent wandering all over Kentucky.
