Is the Suzuki Savage LS 650 a good bike?
I found the Suzuki Savage LS 650 to fit perfectly. It was light weight, being around 300lbs. and very narrow. I could reach all the controls very easily. So that is what I bought. The only negative thing I can say about the bike is that it is very hard to get any accessories for it. I don’t want a windshield, but it can be had.
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.
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.

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.
