Yup like Mike said, have to keep the psi's up on the connie or she will chew through tires like there is no tommorow. Heavy bike with lots of torque. I keep one extra pound in the rear for milage due to my weight too, I'm about 275lbs dry 285 ish with gear, bike is around 700 ish full of fuel, so even without packed bags I'm rolling almost 1000lbs at any given time. Oh yea and I run Angel GTs, I'll get 8k to 10k out of a front and 6k to 8k out of a rear.
