Re: Lightweight yet more powerful bike?

It LOOKS like the seat height is higher, like the S-40, but I've never been on either.
Yeah, it's just the looks I guess. According to specs, the S50 and the Vulcan 500 have very similar seat height:

S50: 27.6
Vulcan 500: 28.1
GZ250: 26.8

One bad thing about the S50 is a kind of smallish fuel tank: 3.17 gal.

Also, I see the S50 has a shaft drive as opposed to chain in the Vulcan 500. Is one better than the other? Less maintenance with a shaft drive, but is it reliable?
