I just waxed my connie and the creak creak creak of the plastic panels reaffirmed my observations that my RT was better built.Fo a bit of humor mixed with internet fact If ya had an '08 Silverdammit you wouldnt need to wash her and as an added bonus you'd have the quickest colored bike
Anyhow, I will say the more I ride the connie the more I like it! The fuel mapping is spot on, the engine is nice and smooth, but honestly does not feel as strong as my K1300GT did for roll ons. I love how nicely the driveline works, and lacks the lash I have noticed on other machines.
I talked to a couple CHP guys about the move to the C14 incidentally, and they seem to like the bike, although they maintain that they preffered their RT's for comfort and handling.
