Top heavy.
The bike is fast, and the handling is great.
I'm planning to look at and probably buy an 05 Connie this week. I'm a big guy, a 6-2, 225lb. weightlifter, so I don't thing the top-heavy weight will bother me. On the other hand, I'm 55. Anyway, you only live once. Hope all these generally positive reviews are on the mark. Wish me luck. I understand taller riders generally install the bar risers. Any suggestions?
