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 ...

A mint bike at used price, fully loaded with goodies.
A great buy. That was a dream deal.

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 ?
