Hi All,
I really went for it last year and bought a brand new 2017 Connie. Biggest, heaviest, fastest bike I have ever owned. The V-Strom 650 went to a very happy new owner in New Brunswick and we were off. First ride home from the dealer, I was scared to death of the bike.........for about 30 seconds, until I discovered how beautifully controllable they are. I have decided two things: first, I prefer sport bikes (especially comfy ones) to ADV bikes, and second, the engine in this thing shall be known as “Godzilla”. First set of tires are already getting thin and I’m looking forward to putting on a lot of miles this summer as well.
My other bike is a 1975 Norton Commando, which used to belong to my father, and I am also a member of the Norton Owners Club.
Hoping to see a few Connies on Nova Scotia’s roads this summer.
Ride Safe!
Andrew H.
