Have had many Yamaha and Honda ST's, but this is my first Connie. It has 44K miles, a custom seat built on the stock seat pan, a trunk, and a bunch of other farkles. Only got one FOB with it - the "Active" one. Already have a "Passive" FOB on order. Interestingly, I called the closest Kawi dealer, and they said 1/2 hour to program it (reasonable) but also said that they end up attempting the programming sometimes 10 times before it works! Huh....

I am really liking the 6th gear. I have had 5-speed FJR's for the past 10 years. Seems to also have a bit more room than the FJR, but that may have a lot to do with the custom seat.

Anyway, I really like it so far.

At 6'3", the wind is intense, even with a larger than stock windscreen that came with it. I am going to try a cheap clip-on and if I like it, maybe will go for a bolt on (MRA Xcreen seems to be the one to have).
