Gday,
I'm Dan. I have recently picked up a 2017 S40. It had been laid down so I have done some repairs (forks, swingarm, pegs, indicators, rear fender and tail light). Still have a decent ding on the tank to deal with.
At 35 it's been my first motorbike for on the road, and first motorbike in more than 10 years, also the last member of my family to get their motorbike license. In searching for info this website always came up and has been so helpful, so thought I would join.
I guess I've always been a Suzuki Bloke. I also have a suzuki mightyboy ute (which ironically has the same stock output as a ls650  

Thanks MMRanch,
I actually haven't minded the standard seat, but I'm also a cyclist so I guess my butt might be conditioned.
Does that extra 1L really make that much difference to you? I know to go visit my folks in the country I will need to refuel twice on the way

160-180km comfortable with a very full tank, 180-200km on reserve, over 200 km pray.

I hope to meet you some day Badwolf. It sounds like you and MM have the toughest butts on the forum. From Lancer's place in Oklahoma back to my house in Spring (north Houston), Texas was the furthest I have ever ridden in one day on the S40 and when I finally got home my back side was ready for a soak in the tub. I let it hit reserve once on that ride, and once was enough.
