at 71 years old and having had many bikes mostly a lot bigger over many years I was ready to downsize, my first ever bike was a 600cc single cylinder Norton, so this reminds me so much of that bike, I bought a 1999 Savage a couple of months ago, it has just 10,000 miles on it, I put new tires on and am planning a 1200 mile road trip in October, weather permitting, I really love this bike, everything about is great except no centre stand. Thanks for the good video.
Esta bien que nos muestres la salida, pero estaria mejor si nos compartes en el video esa experiencia, que nos cuentes que tal el motor en las subidas, el frenado en bajada y la suspension, que tal se sienten los cambiosen subidas y todo lo que pudieras, seria muy ilustrativo. Saludos.
Great video! Where were you? It was like taking a ride back to the 1980's. Even saw a nice squarebody Chevy sitting first in line in someone's driveway. Love it.
that's how Mexico is, looks quite old and vintage. And I was coming down a Hill from Chiapas, Mex, wich is a state of the republic with a lot mountains, its nice to ride around here on two wheels.
@@IEJAPM Reminds me of my carefree days while still living in the Philippines in the late 70s to early 80s. I used to ride my small Honda XL 100 up to 250 kilometers outside the capital city to the mountain provinces. Roads there are very similar to yours. I would feel very much at home in Mexico. Thanks for sharing and ride safe primo.
@@robertonavarro7713 thanks man, no worries, I was careless at that age, now I have a daughter, Im off the bike now, I turned into a worried person, always thinking about safety, thanks for the advise man, but you must now the sense of freedom when you are on the motorcycle.
@@IEJAPM I understand that the safety of your family comes first. I still have a small scooter for around town travel but I also seldom ride these days, being retired already. I am sure you and your wife are very excited taking care of your new daughter. Stay safe and God bless.
I just bought a Suzuki S40, I stole it, 2016 with 8 miles on it for $3,200.00 from Florida dealership. Yes I paid $450.00 dollars to ship it to NH but the dealer wanted $5,700.00 for a left over 2016.
No, son rines de rayo, yo tenia unas Dunlop, de las que se le ponen a las Harleys, usan la misma medida, pero siempre deben llevar su camara. Y pues, el riesgo es el mismo con llanta de camara o sin camara, lo importante es la aventura, man. Aunque te digo, el rin de rayo aguanta mas los golpes que uno de magnesio, y pues, siempre hay que ponerle camara buena. Mas para estas calles llenas de huecos de latinoamerica
hi! great video...i gots to ask ya-- how did the s40 perform UP that mountain or did you take another route to the top before coming down on the other side...? i'm looking toward an S40, and i'd just like to know from someone who has ridden in the hills since i'll be doing some hill riding...can you give me a few details on its performance going UP: speed, power, gas mileage, etc. thx much!
well, before i start, i live in a small town in mexico and there's a lot of hills over here, so, most of my rides are in the hills. The bike perform really well, I normally take the original way to get to the top (because theres no other way) and the cruising speed of the bike is about 80 m/h, but in the hills that speed is unnecessary, in my case i only find short corners on the road, so i only use 2nd and 3rd gear most of the time. About the power, let me tell you that the bike is powerful, but soft, thats because of the band transmision, Which makes a smooth and relaxing ride, but powerful when is necessary, some times this bike gives me the sensation of being in an old bike, you know, like the classics Royal Enfield, it has a lot of torque and you can feel it in the steering handle. talking about the gas, the bike gives me an efficiency of 10 miles/Liter (it includes reserve) I hope I helpted you
Joe, the S40 is a physically small bike, but perhaps you already know that :) So, if you are a taller person perhaps the S40 is not the bike for you. But luckily there are many other great bikes out there (although few similar to the S40 and its single cylinger setup). Personally, I am too tall for the S40, but I am really a fan of how it looks and how honest it is.
I got my S40 to come back into motorcycling after 25 years. My last ride was a dual sport in Guatemala (where it is the best way of traveling) her in the San Fran Bay area I take it to lots of hills and it gives me the power I need. In the freeway it performs very well giving me 90 mph without much trouble. Although it tops at 100 mph, I hardly ever get it there. I´m cruising. If I wanted to go faster I would have gone for a sports bike. I´m 5'7" and 175 lbs. If my GF comes that is 110 lbs more and the machine still responds and keeps power getting up there in the 80-90 in a giffy.
I know, its my dad the one I was passing, his bike has more torque, and he is slow at the corners, so I took my chance, he doesn't like to go behind, so...
Nitroyisus lol nah man. Just trying to find something loud so people can hear me on the road. I use to ride a gsxr and people turning left who are suppose to yield just never see em. It's crazy!!

I know bro, have a safe trip, good routes.
It's July 2020, I just picked up a 2013 s40 for way cheap. I feel a little cramped on it but, overall it's an Amazing little bike. Lovin' it!
mine was 2009, I miss her so much man, its a pretty noble bike, I miss the backfires too

Nice place you live in, nice video to, I like it very much.
thanks bro, the streets are very ugly, but the view is amazing, lots of corners, its practicly in the mountains from Chiapas, best regards bro

Ray Downes I find it to expensive
Good buy bro!
thats what its all about!
Se ve buena para las subidas esa moto, pero me preocupa que usa llantas con cámara, se le podrán poner tubeless?

sounds exactly what i'm looking for, however i prefer the cruiser style, but i just may get TWO bikes, one for off-road as well! :D
Doing a video on the s40 is great.passing other bikers on hill and having possible head on collisions not cool
I know, its my dad the one I was passing, his bike has more torque, and he is slow at the corners, so I took my chance, he doesn't like to go behind, so...
Yes that was a very dangerous pass, right at the curve
cual en su velocidad crucero y su máxima velocidad.
80 mph crucero y la maxima 95 mph
Angel Carpinteiro 80mph crucero y 95mph
Puro tropico es costa rica?
Es Chiapas México
You do any mods to it ? Or is this stock ?
nivo yoyo its stock bro, why d'you ask? D'you see something weird? On my bike 🤔
Nitroyisus lol nah man. Just trying to find something loud so people can hear me on the road.
I use to ride a gsxr and people turning left who are suppose to yield just never see em.
It's crazy!!
I believe you can change the exhaust for any other louder, "two brothers" exhaust is good choise
Nitroyisus thanks!!!
