Cool. I thought about trading up the S40 for one of those a couple of years back when I thought I would need more highway riding speeds but never did it (happy that I didn't with the S40 mods I now have and the fact that I do very little highway riding locally).

Does it really feel like a much bigger bike or just the S40 with a little more punch and a bit more top heavy?

Reply #3 - 06/21/17 at 15:41:46 You got the S50-S model, they are very hard to come by. There was one here a little over a year ago for a similar price. I was sorely tested over that one ! I looked, and looked again, and then looked again !

Will it keep up with the 883? That Honda 500 looks good Kenny, I hope you tell us about it. How does the power compare to the S40, how is the weight, the ride etc.

Reply #12 - 06/22/17 at 05:33:59 It's been over 115' degrees the last 3 days in a row,.. so I'm up at 5am for a putt... The S50 is closer to the Savage than a Sporty weight wise,... but I believe it out guns the Sporty in giddieup... Kenny, I really like those new Hondas... give us a road test... Enjoy...

Reply #14 - 06/22/17 at 12:28:39 The big difference is that the S50 is water cooled... S40 and S83 are air cooled, although I believe the S83 has a small oil cooler. .. but both the S50 and S83 are shafty's...
