Ever seen one of these? (Read 18 times)

Deno Ex Member	Ever seen one of these? 02/11/06 at 14:32:13 Good day. This is my first posting to this group. I am looking at a bike with a Suzuki Savage motor similar to this one. Have any of you ever seen this or a similar one? I've owned singles in the past and like the way they run. Now I need to figure out the method of getting this registered in CT.

Believe they were made by a company in a southern state about 6 years ago. Last time I tried to access the website is was out of business. They use a Savage engine and a English frame. Were supposed to be much faster than the stock Savage. Also note they are converted to chain drive so you will have to find a dealer who has 90's era suzuki tempter (the single not the twin) parts catalogs or someone who has access to a LS400 Asian version of the Savage which are also chain drive. You are a lucky guy as there were not many made or sold. Max

I met the builder about 4 years ago just prior to his rather sudden passing. Unfortunately I never had an opportunity to follow up on what or how he built these. Excuse my ignorance. What is a Tempter?

Reply #4 - 02/11/06 at 18:18:12 Say Deno, that is quite a find. If you don't mide me asking, what is the asking price for the one you are looking at. Is it as nice as the one pictured.

Deno Ex Member	Re: Ever seen one of these? Reply #8 - 02/12/06 at 04:45:05 A final price has not been agreed upon. The bike has been sitting for around four years in a storage building. The only photos I have at this time are about three years old. Newer photos will help set the price. Once I figure out how to get a photo saved in a location where I can post it I will send it here.

Reply #11 - 02/12/06 at 06:31:09 That's a rare one well worth buying either to ride or as an investment. Don't let it get away. It is a real nice cafe racer on top of everything else.
