I have just read uncle_bernie’s review and it matches exactly my impressions of moving from a LS400 Savage to the S50. I too felt like the S50 was in charge for the first few days especially after being so comfortable on the Savage. One thing I am still getting used to is the engine breaking, especially in low gears. I just throttle back slightly and the bike practically stops ( or feels like it does). I’ve learned to change up more quickly than in the Savage which seems to help. I’ve only had the S50 for a week and am looking forward to long rides over summer.
