Need thoughts and info on the S40

You're kidding...! SOMEBODY HELP ME OUT HERE!

He'd say stuff like: "Weeeelllll I LOST IT! I SNAPPED!! I grabbed him by his scrawny neck and put 'im in a choke hold!!!" nothing? seriously? Maybe it was a canadian thing
 
My wife is a bit smaller 'n yours (she's 5'1" and 108 pounds) and loves her VS800 (S50). It's 100 pounds lighter than your M and has more horsepower/torque (likely because of that weight difference....). It'll have absolutely NO problems keeping up (actually...YOU'LL have problems keeping up with her).

S50 443 dry weight
M50 544 dry weight

With that said, though, you can do a simple carb trick to the S40/Savage (remove spacer from needle) that'll wake up the S40 quite a bit.
 
Come up this weekend and look at my wife's bike. We're gonna be under your budget when we sell it. She likes the bike, but not the wider bars on it. Cheaper for us to buy her a set of bars and swap 'em out. But....I'm some kinda lazy, so easier for me to buy her a different 800 intruder with stock buckhorn bars & sell this one. :)

Dog not included. ;)
