Welcome aboard bernard!
That wetbike looks like it would be a blast to ride around on.
It sounds like you have some experience on land and sea, so I bet you will feel right at home on that s40. I haven’t reviewed it myself, but I did find a great review online of that bike. Check it out:

It looks ideal for the new rider, and it is a really great looking bite to boot! I think its really cool that it uses a belt drive instead of a chain, I wish my bike did that! Usually only the more expensive bmw’s are belt driven, so its a nice change to see one of the big 4 japanese bikes with that feature. Let us know when you take the plunge, and be sure to post some pics on the forum.
