Any opinions on riding the Suzuki S83??? I'm in Colorado, and I'd
like something that can pull 2 people in the mountains, while having
the maintenance characteristic of a shaft drive japanese bike.

many thanks

I've given us all up as doomed, so I guess I can talk to the man:

Can you comment a little further?  I mean, I can ride double in the
mountains on a 250.  I'd just be fanning the shifter more than a guy on a
bigger bike.  Some mountain switchbacks make ALL bikes shift down into first
gear.
