FYI:
According to an internal source, Suzuki will import no GSX-Rs or other streetbikes into the American market for 2010 as the unsold 2009 models on dealer floors are expected to satisfy demand. Overall, US motorcycle sales through the first three quarters of this year total just 434,370 compared to 771,950 during the same period last year, a drop of 44 percent. Suzuki has announced no new street models for the 2010 model year. Word has it 2010 models are available for order should dealer stocks unexpectedly be diminished. Good luck getting one in the U.S.A.

Lets hope the economy rebounds,,tho, I dont see it. I see a great decline coming in the American standard of living, It may slide down on us or crush us quickly, but either way, with the $$$ weve created, all the toxic investments( read: derivatives), our debt so high & greater & greater numbers of people taking govt assistance, I cant envision going back to days of money left over at the end of the month for the blue collar types.

My local dealer can't keep S40's on the showroom floor. They sell in about a week.

One year to the 25th anniversary!!!!! I wonder if Suzui is going to celebrate it some how. One of the articles made me laugh........"And when you're up to cruising speed, you'll really appreciate the engine's smooth performance. " Smooth ??

Seriously, you all don't consider these engines to run smooth ?

If not, coulda fooled me. At 45-55 I have been very impressed how smooth running it is. I did push it to 80 once, and recall not liking anything about 80 mph, and maybe including a noticable tingling vibration. But I'll take this slow turning torquer over them short stroke hi revin bees anyday. Wink

Routy, you need to get together with Bill67. You describe the S40 as a
"slow turning torquer" and he is vehement in claiming it turns way too fast at highway speed. Some time back I put together a listing of about a hundred motorcycles, using data from tests in Motorcycle Consumer News, showing RPM at 65 MPH. It is still on here, somewhere. Lowest were a couple of Harley models at about 2100; highest was a 250 Ninja at just over 8000. Right in the middle, at about 4300, was the S40. Someone else calculated the average, and the S40 was right there. Try http://suzukisavage.com/cgi-bin/YaBB.pl?num=1236605350/0#0 and see what happens. I don't actually know how to post the link, so I typed it and maybe got it right.

I don't think number of cylinders equates to RPMs, does it? There are too many other factors such as displacement, gearing, & weight to name a few. It's just that the single cylinder has to carry the full load, whereas a twin divides the work.
