I have a ‘99 one with 105k miles. Have completely rebuilt engine and front suspension, carburetor and some electric issues due to age, renewed chrome parts, polished alloy ones and rebuilt seat, but now she’s ready to another 150k miles. Don’t change for any hd or bigger bikes, ‘cause she fits me perfectly. Congratulations for the bike! Very beautiful color. Mine is maroon. Cheers from Southern Brazil!
Usually I prefer more colorful paint (just like my yellow LS650) but I have to admit that all silver looks great. Hope you still got this little beauty!
I have the 2012. Someone was tossing it, so they gave it to me instead. It was in mud, in a yard for 2-3 years. I fixed it up. Runs fine. What's the max speed that these go? I ride mine and at 60 mph I feel like we're going to disintegrate on the freeway. Is it me, or is this bike not really made for above 60mph?
I have the same Savage 650 1998 since 2002... 185 thousand kilometers through Brazil and the south of South America...
That sounds like a great trip.

Beauty in simplicity!
Man that’s one beautiful motorcycle ..!!
Thank you Captain.
I'm thinking of selling it this year.
I like my 2007 agile bike. 80 mph plus. Brakes suck, but it's good enough for the city. after 5 years 20k I will ride it tomorrow.

How many miles can you go before you have to go on reserve ?
To be cautious I only go about 80 miles and then I fill it up again, so I don't use the reserve.
They black them out cause they are too lazy to polish all that chrome,
