Is the Savage 650 a maintenance free bike?
I just got a 2002 Savage 650; mint. The bike fits me physically (5’7”, 150)better than any I’ve owned, including my old Honda CB350. I’ve heard that the Savage is one of the most maintenance-free bikes on the road today, but I’ve also heard rumblings about an oil leak problem. Anyone have any particulars on problems associated with this bike?
What kind of engine does a Suzuki Savage have?
It was a small, simple cruiser with a 650 cc single-cylinder engine. There was very little to this bike. It was nothing spectacular, but it was a perfectly competent bike, a great choice for new riders or for small riders of any experience. Its four-speed transmission gained a much needed fifth gear in 1993.
Is the Suzuki Savage going to be back?
After a 33 year run, the little cruiser that could will not be back for 2020. There are a number of bikes missing from Suzuki’s 2020 lineup. Sabrina has already waxed poetic about the Van Van.
When did the Suzuki Savage S40 Boulevard come out?
No, it’s the S40 Boulevard now. Whatever they call it, I’ll miss it. Suzuki introduced this particular model way back in 1986 as the LS650 Savage. It was a small, simple cruiser with a 650 cc single-cylinder engine. There was very little to this bike.

Is the Suzuki Savage still on the market?
Several of the Boulevard range are missing for 2020, including the S40. It joins many other older designs that have disappeared in recent history such as the Kawasaki KLR 650 which also ran a carbureted single-cylinder engine. As a six-foot-tall guy, I don’t fit on the diminutive Savage very well.
