I am a 46 year old English teacher with her first bike, the S40. My husband talked me into getting my motorcycle license, and then he surprised me with the bike. I ride it to school everyday; it intrigues my hard kids. I never thought I would actually ride a motorcycle -- this bike is fun to ride, easy to maneuver, and not too heavy. I get between 60-65 mpg. If you have to go to work, riding a motorcycle makes it much more bearable!
