let the stealership buy you a couple of test rides on a new S40, where are you at, maybe somebody close by would swap bikes with you for an hour or two?. i fell into my wife's savage, a '96 with only 6700 miles on the clock when we bought it. since owning it, we have really come to like it way better than many other bikes on the road, and the fact that it is a thumper, garners respect from every motorcycle group, (including the die hard american v-twin crowd), nobody disses the bike and it does keep up quite well with everybody else, but a little tweeking, and the animal within, becomes a raging beast, fun, fun, fun! i dont know of any particular year model to avoid, they're all tuneable and parts are interchangable. they did move from a 4spd to 5spd(95 and later), that might be a good reference to use as a year model break in your search. good luck
