I don't think the original poster has been back in about 8 months.

The above IS a good point BUT.....bikes are still being built that make good power with ~ 750 CCs. An I-4 or V-4 with "small" displacement will easily keep up with an 1800 CC behemouth.......you usually just have to shift an extra gear or two to do it.

I think you are correct Easy Rider, I just checked his profile and it says his last appearance was in July of 2009.

If the S-40 is still available in 5 years it will come with fuel injection and no carb problems. What would be even better would be a S-40 sized bike with the Vstrom 650 V-twin as a power source.

Yap that would be nice! One of my neighbor has one and that vstrom looks huge compared to my tiny Gz :biggrin:

Yup, it is kinda big looking compared to a GZ. Keep in mind the GZ will still go all the same places but a little more slowly. Size does matter. The GZ wins when you drop it and have to pick it up. The Vstrom is fairly top heavy not something you try to save if it wants to fall over.
