Reply #1 - 10/06/06 at 14:23:33 Sounds cool Sluggo! S = Savage, 40 = cubic inches (or 652cc's for us in the "metric" countries ) Hell, we're all on the same page anyways when it come to the love of these particular motorcycles!!

mine says "Savage " right on the tank so that's what I have allways called it

PS, I have a request Sluggo could you check out the question I'm asking under "It's Baaaaaack"

i'm the wrong guy to ask that question, my original thumper the gn400 by suzuki backfired for 98,000 miles, my current thumper backfires, but i pay it no mind. i even use the kill switch to scare the crap out of people at bus stops 8)

when suzuki put their cruisers under the boulevard moniker..they defined s as sport..c as classic..m as muscle..think they sucummed to "political correctness"
in our case (thumper,suzi,salad shaker,my mistress,s-40 savage,etc) its STILL an ls 650....and thats all i have to say bout that..run forest run... Roll Eyes

(is it a spade or a freakin shovel)

never thought of mine as a LS650 or thumper clone's as a S40, just both of them Savages, even if I don't have the name anywhere on my bike - nor Suzuki (courtesy of the previous owner but fine by me).

seems ironic - I'm not really brand loyal but purely by coincidence I have a "mini jap jeep" - a Suzuki Samurai, so I have 2 Suzukis both with a "strong" name starting with S in fact!

My wife and my two daughters bought me a Suzuki Boulevard S40 last november 2005. We like the bike very much because of its style, size, price....
The name Boulevard sounded a little bit new to me then as well as its road name: S40. I thought it must be a new design.
I then take a look at the bike owner manual; there is no S40 word printed on the manual at all, only LS650. I believed the gave me a wrong manual. After reading the manual and comparing to the actual bike, it is all about the same bike: LS650 = S40 and vice versa.
My bike is part of the LS650 family, just a nomenclature change for commercial purpose.
To make it short, this Savage site is very helpful to the owners of this Suzuki Savage and Boulevard family.
It is important to know where are your roots, so for me, no need to change the name of this site.
Happy riding to all!
