Picked up my S4R today - she's an '04 but bought by someone as an investment, he thought that it would become a rare collectors item and worth a fortune, so he modded it and never rode it further than back from the dealer.

Here she is ...

great looking jacket almost bought the men's one myself a couple of years ago.

I wasn't too far off, was I  

BTW - since you didn't mention anything, I assume your hip is fine....

Thanks - yes, hip is fine - The bike is a really good fit for me. Even after 110 miles of "slab" being buffeted by cross winds passing 18 wheelers , followed by some stop and go,  I didn't have much of a problem. Thinking I might get a slightly more padded seat, though. That would give my butt a bit more relief, as well as reducing hip and knee angles. I have plenty of "reach" to flat foot the bike with the stock seat (the S4R is 0.5 lower than the 1100Evo) so I have a bit to play with.

Curmudgeon - this is your opportunity to weigh in with the Sargent Seat - are you on commission ?

Duchess (happy she has met her Duc and fallen in love)

34 miles 

I always loved the blue/white S4R

Awesome purchase!

 

Happy Bike Day to you!  The bike is beautiful!

all i have to say is ENJOY!!!

Congrats!   Now chop that tail.
