450 kg is it possible to ride sportive with that weight?  |
Considering it's 44 pounds lighter than the ST1300.... I think the Connie will be just fine. I road tested the ST1300 as well as the 1200GT and FJR1300, they all pulled their own weight with little effort (pun intended). If you're wankin' about a few extra pounds here and there, go on a diet. If you're wankin' about an extra inch of seat height, buy some boots with heels. If you're wankin' about a gallon of gas, shut the hell up. My bladder won't go the full distance without a pitstop anyway. Besides, you'll gain an extra couple seconds doing 0-60 without the extra weight. So all you wankers can stop now that all the specs are out on the web somewhere and put your money where your mouths are and buy one or buy something else. Just quit your wankin'. I'll have mine soon enough..... my gosh! It's a 2008 for Pete's sake. Get over it.
If you want more "sportive", buy a ZX-14... if you want more touring... buy a 1200RT or a Gold Wing... But if you want the BEST of both worlds, put your money down on a Concours (GTR) 14 and RIDE ON!
