The Savage 650 is dedicated to giving you a whole lot more of what you want. Of course, that's been the attraction of big single-cylinder road bikes for decades, and it's what makes the Savage 650 the perfect heir to a timeless design. More of what you want? That begins with outstanding engine performance. Its torquey powerplant invites you to accelerate hard and rewards you with crisp throttle response throughout the powerband. Its high-mass crankshaft, built-in counterbalancers and durable, clean-running belt drive combine to provide exceptionally smooth operation. And electric starting with automatic decompression helps ensure easy starting every time. The Savage 650's light weight and low seat height help give it an agile responsiveness that lets you maneuver through traffic or enjoy a winding country road with confidence. The Savage 650 for 2004. Proof that less truly is more.
I am selling my 1986 Suzuki Savage for $1400 OBO. I used it as a commuter while I was in between cars and am selling it before I go home to Idaho in a few weeks. Starts 100% of the time. I have ridden this bike as my sole transportation daily for months, and it has always started and ran strong in the rain, early morning 40 degree temperatures, you name it. I've commuted on it 5-7 days a week and it has been as reliable as you can imagine. Parts are cheap, the bike is incredibly easy to work on, and I'm sad to see it go. I replaced the broken stock petcock with a vacuumless one when I bought the bike. Cleaned the gas tank and changed the oil. Issues: The front brake pads are thin and need replacement, I have the parts ordered. The tires are also in need of replacement, and I have two Dunlop tires sitting in my living room that I planned on installing for the rainy season before I decided to go to Idaho. I am selling the bike AS IS for $1400 OBO, but this includes a cover, the two brand new tires, and the brand new brake pads. If you're interested in negotiating installation, I can definitely work with you. The owner before me took great care of it and kept it garaged, he used it as a commuter and to teach his girlfriend how to ride. The owner before him kept it garaged for 10+ years, hence the low mileage. I have never dropped or damaged the bike, and I cover it every night. There is minor cosmetic damage in some weird places (top of gas tank is dented) but no performance issues. Make an offer!
