I've had some pretty fast and smooth bikes. I got my first Harley (a 2012 Nightster) a couple years ago and LOVE it. Yeah, by bike standards, it's slow, though it still easily beats car traffic. The thing that is awesome about it is that 80 MPH feels like 140 MPH on my old Ducati 748. I ride for MY thrills. In other words I get the same thrill of feeling like I am going really fast, without the danger of losing my license.

With the exception of the cramped handlebar-to-seat situation I like riding the S40 for the same reasons.
