I'd cover it up in a hurry, but that's just my opinion... other wise I'm keeping my eye on that bike for when I need a upgrade for more cross country purposes Holy crap.. I just read the engine specs... you are one lucky guy! Here's the one I want!

After two days of riding I can report that the bike is very easy to ride at normal speeds and just as easy to ride at higher speeds. Taking off slowly is a little trickier. I was pulling out from being angle parked in front of the Post Office and had to go slowly and make about an 80 decree turn with a lane of traffic about four feet away and it wanted to roll back or go like hell. I should have waited til the traffic went by and then I would've had plenty of room. No big problem just a little awkward and a little embarrassing if any one was watching. Fortunately the solution is just ride more and get used to it and I'm up for all the riding I can get in.

It has the most comfortable seat I've ever sat on. The quality and workmanship just keeps looking better and better.

The S50 will become my little bike and the mini-bagger/cafe/bobber is up for sale.
