I commute 28 miles door to door or 56 miles round trip. Since my motorcycle gets twice the fuel economy than the minivan and nearly 2.5 times that of the 1999 F-150, I ride as often as I can. Most of the trip is two lane highway, and there is usually light traffic, so it is relaxing. There are curves (a rareity for Kansas), although I really don't like riding at night, because the deer are thick.
I purchased the connie for exactly this reason, to commute. I love the weather protection of the fairing, the great fuel economy, large tank, etc.....
I just wish I could ride it more often to work (have to transport kids to soccer, scouts, school, etc..) so I usually only get to ride one or two days a week during the school year.
