Great looking bike! Almost gives me buyer's remorse for the route I took. 
Turbo Vado 2 4.0 or 5.0 or 6.0?

Interesting... All Vado SL 2 5.0 have been removed from the Polish website of Specialized while two models of SL 2 4.0 have been added...

Weird, when I ordered my bike on Jan 20, Spec showed 10+ in stock and the bike arrived the LBS said it would be at their store in 5-7 days and it was.

Hi rochrunner, I see you are in Rochester Hills MI. My wife and I are OU grads and I lived basically at the intersection of 26 mile road and Canada for 50 years. Small world.Great looking bike! Almost gives me buyer's remorse for the route I took.
I followed your posts about loving your SL 5.0 but wanting the lower step over height. I'm in the same boat regarding hip flexibility. I can swing my leg over the seat (barely) but I know that's an accident waiting to happen when I don't clear the seat. I would have liked to get the Carbon frame 6.0 but that's not available as a step through. A short test ride with a dropper seat post showed that to be an improvement but I decided to go with the step through as the safest choice plus we ain't getting any younger.
I seriously considered following your lead and getting one of the NOS 4.0 bikes but in the end decided the future shock plus the more powerful motor were worth the extra weight. I've been riding a Como 3.0 with the same power and battery size as the SL 2 so knew that would be plenty of power and range for me. Also I was used to a 62# bike so this 44# one feels a lot lighter.

specialized has a certain number of bikes that only go to the stores, another number for consumers to buy direct on the website, and some other number which could end up elsewhere or both or so on. so if you go in and ask, what they see definitely doesn’t match the website. i bought a bike once they the shop said they couldn’t get for 6 months, online it was available in a month or two and of course i could have to assembled at the shop and picked up just as if they’d had it…
