Connie to 14
A friend of mine bought a new 14R last week. And I just couldn't take it.
I was going to get one last year. But decided on the Connie instead. I found a real good deal on a left over 2012 in blue. Can't wait to get back to a bike with 195 RWHP.
Here's the Connie.
Will have pics of the new 14 tomorrow.

Did you sell your Connie or trade it in? What did you get for it?

Good choice - you'll love the 14r. Check out cliff Randall's touring 14 build up thread!

Stu I traded it in. They gave me $7000 for it. Only 7185 miles.
Very impressed with the low end power. Not like Kawi at all. It steers very light as well. Very happy with the choice.
Here's the 14 at home in the garage.

Kinda crazy pricing right now - is it just me or are used prices down and new prices up?

Stu I would get a 2010 or newer. They redesigned the bodywork do to the engine heat that gets thrown at the rider. His price is about right though.

Nice bikes both.......  I would have liked to have bought your Connie......  Been looking for the right one for quite a while, and I live just down here in Kentucky.

Yep Charles you missed out on that one!
7 grand for a nice looking '09 with a trunk was a great deal.
Your 14R looks really good next to your '13 GT there John!
