Default S40, savage, ls-650 et all

Hey there forum folks. I currently ride a 92 katana 600, and while shes my baby and i love her very very much, I've been thinking about changing over to the cruiser crowd. Namely the s40. $$$ Is a fairly large factor in that.

I can't seem to find many in depth reviews of this bike. What i have been able to glean, is that they are simple, slightly cramped, reliable, low maintenance, slightly vibey cruisers that tend to backfire on deceleration until the mix is richened up.

I'm curious as to what some s40 owners have to say. Good opinions? Bad? General top speeds of this lil sucker? Whats the seat like. What kinda mileage do you get? Know a tire that really goes well with it? Things of this nature.

Thanks for any posts.
