Sometimes, good things come at awkward times.
I've been searching for the perfect Connie for some time. I finally found it. A 2010, with traction control and ABS, and everything nice on it. 4,200 miles. Everything I planned for her was the best. And then I got the call that I have a job offer--an offer that I can't refuse--and an offer that means that I wouldn't be able to keep riding how I'd like to. An offer that I've been waiting for, but which means that the bike will sit in my garage. And so, after putting only 350 miles on her, I'm putting her up for sale, in the hopes that she finds a good home.
My offer is to sell the bike, as-is, for $8,000. I may put a few more miles on her while she's up for sale...so move fast if you want her now!
Here's the bike:

I do a lot of bicycling, so I had mounted a 2x2 cycles bike rack on it. If you don't want that, I'll pull it off.

I also have a generic top case I'd throw in for free--nothing special, but lockable and removable.
There is this small (1/4") nick in the right hard case. (I'm into full disclosure).

I hard-wired a battery tender to the battery, so it will automatically charge when you plug it in. If you're a winter rider, you can use this for your 12v vest, as well.

I wanted a USB charger, so I did some research and bought a REALLY NICE one from West Marine. Installed on the left side plug on the dash, like it was factory installed.

I wanted the best helmet and Bluetooth setup, so I bought a brand new Shoei Neotec helmet, and Sena 20S bluetooth headset. They work together like they came from the factory that way. I haven't even sync'd the bluetooth to my phone yet. Helmet is an XL. Includes the Shoei Pinlock insert and factory soft bag.

Honestly, if you look at this, you'll see that I did my research on Connie's and wanted to put together a bike with all of the right parts. You won't find one nicer than this. She is ready for anything--for any road--for any mission. $8,000 for the bike (including the center stand roller and the canyon cages). I wouldn't sell this bike if I didn't know it would just sit in my garage indefinitely. Does not include helmet or clothing.
