I made the switch!
« on: September 11, 2011, 07:41:17 AM »
Been riding my 2007 Honda VFR and no regrets, but after eyeing the latest connie I decided to make the switch! Picked up my silver '11 yesterday and just love it! I was wondering on the way up to trade her in if I would have any regrets but after 100 miles on the Connie yesterday I am sold!!!  Looking forward to many safe fun miles! Finally a bike that handles great and I can have a passenger on the back... and have room to carry whatever I may need!

Been on the site for a little while just reading but now time to participate!

Congrats Dean!  :chugbeer:
 
I too had an 06 VFR that I sold to get my Connie, my VFR was a great bike, just too small for 2-up riding though.

I too was going to trade up from a VFR ('99)because it was too small for two-up touring. But actually on the ride to the dealership I realized I liked it too much so I still have it plus the '08 Connie. I ride them both regularly.  Welcome aboard.
