My sweet ride

I had a bike when I was younger after a nasty car wreck I had partial paralysis on my right side. No more leaning to the right side to hold a bike. I needed a bike I could put both feet down at the same time. At 4'll" the only one I fit well is the Suzuki s40. I have a beautiful cherry red bik...e that Is my pride and joy. She rides well and handle's well. The only think I would change is to make her a little louder so cars would respect my space better. Other than that I have no regrets at all. Read Full Review

Women compliment Moi !!

Checked the world of motorcycles off my bucket list at 64...'took a Rider Course, checked the change on my dresser, looked at my nine year old and said: That used '07 S-40 with 1700 miles on it should do just fine. Craigslist,one owner. What fun it's been!! Have done close to 4,000 this season; ride... with some experienced Harley guys; they were in awe of this bike; "Heard about these thumpers, never seen one, not bad what you've shown us so far." I get double their gas milage (60 mpg ); & with the 5 gears I have no problem keeping up with them on the highway. Have had it up to 70 mph with lots of throttle left; juand when we're parked somewhere during a break in a ride, there's always a female who wanders up an says, "Nice bike!" The guys give me an envious hard time about that! The color is a nice blue...
Will no doubt move up to a bigger affordable bike in the future (Love that Honda Fury!); but it'll be tough to give up the S40! It does it all that I'm learning a bike should do and has no mechanical faults. 'And am I nuts, but considering a cross country trip on this bike! Read Full Review

What a great Bike!

I have owned the bike for about 6 months and it's just what I need to comute back and forth to work (about 20 miles each way) It's very trust worthy and low maintence. If I had to put a negative on it I would list the small gas tank, I bought a 15 gallon gas can and just feel it up every 4 or 5 da...ys. I have had it on the highway and it handles fine with good acceleration though I wouldn't want to take a long trip over 100 miles at one time. I use it as a true cruiser around town. Read Full Review
