Welcome to the gang! If you're planning to stay stock for a year, you'll still enjoy the bike but I hope you like backfiring. Have fun and ride safe!

Adds character, right? I don't mind it so much and with everything I've read it seems like my altitude helps it not be so bad (4,300MSL). It only gets bad with closing the throttle at high rpms in gear.

My 2002 Black Savage is called "Special Ed." He was always a boy, right from the start, and the story of his name goes like this....

ED is in my license plate; he's my first bike, and therefore my learning and starter bike; when I first got him, I bobble-dropped the poor boy several times Shocked

yet nary a scratch on him.

In a similar bike naming thread on the old BeginnerBikes.com forum, a fellow whose screen name is T Tex came up with it after hearing the above details, and I loved it.

I even had a little leather band embossed with his name, and it's across the front of the risers, over my EZPass tag. I ought to take a picture and post it!

"Pearl" as in like throwing pearls before swine, as in stay out of the way of Harley Hogs! hehe VERY good play on words, and a VARY nice name for your bike.
*Starlifter on "White Satin".
(As from: "Knights in White Satin" by the "Moody Blues.") LOVE these pearl colored bikes. I see they do not offer this color in the 2006 S40 Boulevard lineup. Cheesy

C'mon people! I thought for sure someone was gonna come up with this name..."La Poderosa". You know, the bike from the "Motorcycle Diaries" movie. After I saw that movie I had to call my bike that. I gonna get a friend who airbrushes, to paint it on the side of the tank. If any of you haven't seen the movie, rent it. I'm not a supporter of the two men in the movie, but it was a darn good cycle movie, nonetheless. I have asked several Hispanic friends of mine what the exact meaning of the word is, but I get different answers from all of them. In the movie, it means "the Mighty One". Must be Argentinian.

Hi from Spain!!!
If anything goes wrong, the next week I ride my "new" Savage '00 (because here in Spain Suzuki doesn't sell this bike since 2001).
When I have good pics and a good name for the bike I told you, I promise Wink

This is for savagethumper: In spanish "La Poderosa" means "The powerful"

Saludos desde España.
