The connie is a Ninja 900 bored out to 1k and tuned for a flatter torque
curve.  I have heard claims of folks putting the ZX11 motor into a
Concours.  I would have expected similar mileage, as the gearing appears
identical, but I think I was working 4th and 5th a lot more.

Enjoy the ride down...the weather looks hot but clear.
