A few random points on the S4R ....
You're committing to a single sided swingarm, which has implications re special tools and massive assembly torques needed. The 4v water-cooled motor is more complicated to service and generally less clean looking than the 2 valve motors. Both of these make it less suitable for home maintenance as well as making dealer maintenance more expensive. (which has even more relevance for a high mileage bike.) It will have more power than you will probably need, as a beginner. Its probably not the lightest of monsters. All of the above may or may not matter .. its a personal thing. That one is nice in that its clearly been well cared for but being a high miler its a good price. The blue looks particularly nice, especially with the black wheels .. though I may be biased. But for me, the S4R is too complex. For background, I run an aircooled 750. Blue, with black wheels. |
