(I don't care what Suzuki calls 'em, they're still Savages in my book.) Ride dirt before? Ride street before?

The good news is there will be alot of used bikes for sale.

He is in Riverside, California, the Inland Empire. It is Spring pushing hard into Summer, $4,399 MSRP plus $400 setup plus $100 registration, plus $400 sales tax -- $5,299 but we'll cut you a deal and make that an even $5,000....

Such a deal!

Higher standards will pretty near force manufacturers into liquid cooled / computer controlled fuel injection and the Savage will be discontinued. :'(

Looks IGzaklee like the "Deal" I got on the 05 I picked up late in the year, as they had it "On Sale".
IF I had found this site before I bought it, I would saved a few thousand $$ & got a used one.
Tyler Tx is a part of the Empire I guess.
