Great little thumper!

This bike is exactly as one would expect of a big single. It has good torque and is quite comfortable around town and for short trips on the expressway. Great mileage and only a minor vibration from the well counterbalanced engine. Outside of the occasional backfire, it is quiet, too. The light weig...ht gives it great handling, too. Try it, you'll like it. I do! Read Full Review

Awesome!

Bought this bike a year ago, and have put over 3,000 miles on it with zero problems. And for those of you who think it's too small, I'm 5' 11", 200 lbs, and it handles the freeway, and the hills, just fine! As an added bonus, because of the simplicity of the bike, I won't have any problems wh...en it comes time to start customizing/modding it. Read Full Review

Boulevard of Broken dreams

When you first look upon the s40 you notice its size. It is a smaller bike then most,you might think it is a downfall but no its a nimble creature and still has plenty of power for the normal rider. Alot of people own them as first bikes and 50% being women. You can put a mean exhaust and make some ...noise in your local towns with joy in your heart. Read Full Review

Great Ride

I chose this bike because I am short- 5'2". It's a very good fit. The seat could be more comforable- but that's the only improvement I can suggest. I commute in NYC, am on the highway & in the city. The bike just works- it's got the power for the highway & spriteness & manuverabilit...y for city streets. I have taken it on a few long hauls too- about 3 hours on the highway & am very happy with it's performance. I highly recomend this bike. Read Full Review

Great Bike for short women!!!!

I am only 4'10". I looked all over for a bike I can not only touch the ground but also hold up. I thought I was limited to the Honda Rebel 250cc and the Kawasaki Eliminator 150cc. The instructor from my motorclycle saftey course suggested I try the s40. I fell in love instantly!!!. It meets all... my needs. Very light weight, low to the ground and all the power I need to keep up with the boys!!!! My brother-in-law actually had it up to 80 MPH and said it would have probably do 100 MPH. I have heard some say the suspension isn't the greatest however I haven't had any trouble with it. If I had anything negative to say it would be "nit picking" but I wish the speedometer was higher on the gas tank for easier viewing.
Excellent bike for women!!!!!! I will never feel the need for an upgrade!!! Read Full Review
