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

Thanks Max. The bike was built in Georgia, and the company is indeed out of business. 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?

It is a Suzuki 400cc air cooled single made in the nineties. It was not available in all markets.

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.

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.

The pix is too small to post with any clarity. Perhaps you can view it this way.

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.
