Get another S40 - Really regret selling my 2012.

Looking at a couple of new 2016's right now and just trying to decide if I'd be happier with the White one or the Blue one...

2 for blue

Miles, mods, how have they been maintained, does one have a rear brake that'll lock up if you sneeze on the pedal, OEM tires or has someone replaced a rear tire? I don't know of a crappier tire than the OEM.
Look around for rust, RTV,
Ask what they do when they start it up. Do they fire it up and let it warm up while they get their gear on? Is the idle speed right?
Either color is nice, I prefer the white, but that was the first one I saw. It was on the showroom floor in 05. I put 20,000 miles on it,then decided my body was finished with riding.. I recently bought an 02, silver, and I would not have bought silver if there were mechanically equal options, But, I've really come to dig it.
Anyway, my suggestion is , study the machines and try to pick the one that will be more likely to not need a cam, etc.

If the spokes look like crap, they don't clean up well or easily. Nothing wrong with getting down and rubbing the rim, feel for tiny bumps. The chrome on these isn't the best and I don't think it's real consistent, like the reports on rear brake action. The 05 would lock up before I could feel pressure on my boot, the 02 works great. It lived in Galveston Texas a while and has some freckles. Even though I have cleaned and polished and they are invisible now, I can feel them. How and where they were stored matters.

A nice RED is running neck & neck now !

Red is a fine color. They are all new, and the saved money on purchase price can go for gas and stuff..

Congrats! Maybe I'll come to OK when I'm in the market for a new one! They never discount any bikes here in WA, some 3 years old still on the floor, MSRP+! Oh, and maybe I can check out OUR (former) SuperSonics in Okey City while I'm there.

Congratulations Buster ,  I'll bet Moon Stone Gray is a beautiful color  ,  

Ya going to name it "Moon Stone" ?  

I hope to see both of ya'll at Lancer's this summer .  

Sorry if I came off a little deceptive, but I just did a lot of looking around in the last few days trying to get exactly what I wanted. The Gray bike wasn't really mentioned because of price and I never thought I'd like the color, but after seeing the bike in person I knew it would be the one I'd buy. Dealer didn't discount price very much - ended up paying $5,300 total OTD price. Most Gray s40's within 300 miles of me were same price or full MSRP, before dealer fees were added on. Only found one cheaper, but didn't feel like driving 600 miles round trip to get it.

This will probably be the very last bike I own and I hope to ride every day that it's above 32 degrees. And I'll make sure to check the forums for expert advice and opinions, when I'm not busy riding.
