I have 40,000 on my 08, and still loved it.  Pull those flies and wake her up.


As an added bonus to pulling the flies, it's a great way to help you and your significant other become closer.  When you whack that throttle she will grab onto you like a spooked alley cat.  I know from first-hand experience.   Lol

  Of course the wife does not like the seat, it makes her slide forward.


I find that hard to believe with all the wheelies you pull.

Hey the back tires have 40,000 miles and the front tires have about 38,000 miles.  It's not like the front tire is off the ground all the time....... Just 10 or so times everytime I ride it.   Burnout

Okay, I purchased a 2009 C-14.  I might have been posting PWI when I put 2008 on my profile.

FYI, my wife is 5' 10" but has a 36" inseam.

I traded my GSXR1000 in on a new Concours14 last summer.  Pretty smart decision.  Immediately rode from Dayton, Ohio to Niagara Falls, into Canada, then over to eastern most point of U.S.  - Eastport, ME.  Down the coast and back through PA to Gettysburg.  Then, back home.  All in 6 days.  Was a great ride - thank God for the Connie.  I never would have made it on the Gixxer.  I got a taller windscreen for it and that's about it.  Will upgrade the exahust this spring.  No troubles so far.  Doesn't have the kick of the Gixxer, but, is a lot more enjoyable to actually ride.  Congrats on your new parner (both of them).   BTW - 2x divorced.  Like you I finally got it right.
