Welcome to Connie ownership.  Bought a brand new one in '05, been a really good bike.  Actually 2006 was the last year of the carb'd Connies though (Dark blue color with gray bottom)

Iron Butt Rally, thats nuts, new a few that did it, Ive done a few 1k, nothing compared to the rally. I like the 50cc, fifty hours coast to coast. Never did it but thought might be fun.
