The beauty of the Savage/S40 is its pure simplicity. Simple basic design. 652cc thumper with GOBS of torque!!! Still the same bike since the mid 80's . Great power, simple to work on at a great price. Nice bike!!!!
I think you nailed the description of our bikes but I would add that it is also light with a low center of gravity. As a senior with a disability I can no longer ride heavy bikes. I also don't want chain maintenance for the same reason and our bike is the only lightweight cruiser that I know of with belt drive besides the HD 883. I did see info that CF Moto is going to bring it's new 450 CL-C cruiser to America. If that happens, I will be very interested to try it because it has more power than the S40, plus fuel injection and belt drive.
Thanks for the video. I own a Harley but I've always loved the looks and the idea of the long stroke single cylinder of the Suzuki S40. Now I know the S40 can handle highway speeds. I rarely go faster than 62 or 63 mph. I figure if somebody behind me wants to go faster they are always welcome to pass. Suzuki has dropped the S40 from their line up for now, but I hope they bring it back maybe with a redesign. In order to sell them in Europe they will have to add EFI disc brake on the rear wheel and ABS. Who knows what the future holds???
Incredible bike the s40's are. I just stick to 65mph (the speed limit here on the interstate/highway in my area) limit here. I may go 70mph once in a while, but I'm a careful rider. No reason to ride like a jack*ss. Has incredible torque. My speedometer is 5mph off, so when I go 70mph on the speedo, it's actually 65mph. Always been that way for some reason. Ride slow, lookout for everything, and just let the impatient people pass. Biggest thing is, just enjoy the ride, smile, wave at the kids in passing cars, and love life. The s40 weighs less than 400lbs and is perfect for smaller riders (I stand at a whopping 5 foot 3 inches haha!) But isn't bad for taller riders.
Mine came on the bike from factory, with a "boulevard" sticker on the front of it. Should be able to do an online order to get yourself one. But it is short. Doesn't block the face from wind. I have the gopro mounted on my chin of the full faced helmet, so it might make the windshield look bigger than it is. Haha!
@@TheWerometal has a lot of torque for a one cylinder, so no issues climbing. Not bad vibration in the hands at all. Feet gets vibrated mostly on the foot pegs. But I take this bike on long rides all the time, no issues.
Tina Rowland I was thinking the same thing. Looks very smooth and seems to handle the highway speeds very well. I’m going to take a very close look at this bike for a future purchase. Great video!
@@jesusiseverything2174 Thank you! I have done nothing but enjoyed this bike! It's a little vibratey due to it being a one cylinder, but I take very long miled rides on it with no issue!

@@fweakatv4872 yeah thx... I found out from Googling one of the street signs on the side of the road... It reminded me of upstate New York but a beautiful place, Oregon!

Love my 2015 but if they bring it back with fuel injection, I will be the first one in line.
Ls 650...long stroke...thumper...love it..simple medical stuff
beautiful day, wonderful bike, nice place
How big and tall are you, and we’re you doing 70mph in this vid how does the bike do at those speed how long have you run it at those speeds
I need a wind screen for my S40, yours looks nice, what brand is it? Easy to install?

@@fweakatv4872 Got it, Thanks!
and what about vibrations in ur hands? i read it was not confortable in a long travel because its monocilinder
i want this motorcycle for longs travel, 500 or 1000km in a weekend. And i have another question,
how is the performance on roads with climbs?

Может быть в следующем обзоре что то скажете , хоть пару слов
Your S40 seems smoother on the highway than most videos I've seen. I've got a 2005.
Its stock with like 5 thousand miles on it. Only thing of done different since this video, was a new exhaust

too relaxing 👌
Wish i could ride in January
Don't get me wrong, It's quite cold! Haha!
Were u from lol theres snow here. How long you had your s 40 for?? I have 2015 the dark blue
Almost a year now. I love it! I'm in Oregon
65mph - your speed limits seem weirdly low on such good roads. Nice bike tho, thinking about buying one but they aren't very cheap in Europe
What wind screen is that?
Hermosa moto
What size is windshield
