I have an 08 Connie and an 09 Busa. The previous writer that said the Connie was impressive when compared to the ST and FJR (I had an ST and still have an 05 FJR) hit the nail on the head. The Connie has more power, is more comfortable (to me), and is more economical because it has a six speed. The heat management on the Connie is vastly better and the lay-out of the bike (riding position and instruments) is much better. On the other hand, there is as much more power in the Busa, compared to the Connie, as there was comparing the Connie to the FJR.
