2016 Suzuki Boulevard S40The choices in single-cylinder cruisers are extremely limited. Fortunately, the 2016 Suzuki Boulevard S40 is a stylish way to thump your way down the main drag.Weighing only 381 pounds ready to ride, and with a seat height of 27.6 inches, it is accessible to new riders. The motor displaces 652cc and provides strong grunt off idle, and the five-speed transmission is plenty for its wide powerband.
A slim 19-inch front wheel and chunky rear tire give the bike some attitude, while a drum rear brake, air-cooling and 40mm Mikuni carb imbue the Boulevard S40 with retro credibility.Visit our Motorcycle Buyer’s Guide.
Hello everyone and welcome once again to Motos and Friends, the weekly podcast brought to you by Ultimate Motorcycling. My name is Arthur Coldwells.
Motos and Friends is brought to you by Yamaha. You can check out the amazing YZF-R7 at your local Yamaha dealer, or of course at YamahaMotorsports.com. The YZF-R7 is an amazing supersport machine that is comfortable too!
In this week’s first segment, Editor Don Williams takes the smallest BMW ADV bike on an urban adventure in Los Angeles. The BMW G 310 GS is a full size motorcycle with a modest engine, so of course we wonder if it is a little too underpowered and might struggle. Don put it through its paces and gives us his take.
In the second segment, Neale Bayly and Kiran Ridley have returned from the Ukraine to Paris where Kiran is based.
Kiran is an award winning photojournalist, and as an accomplished documentarian, he has covered stories as diverse as drug smuggling around the Mexican border, to the devastation of the Australian Bush Fires, to the tragedy of the Mediterranean migration crisis. Neale and Kiran reminisce about their motorcycle adventure in the Ukraine, and their observations and experiences with the incredibly resilient people of Ukraine, who have been put through such brutal hardship.
