NEWBIE about to buy....
05/26/07 at 12:05:41
I have an opportunity to buy a 2005 Suzuki LS 650 S40 Savage Boulevard for $2950.
It has 475 miles (yes hundred) on her and comes with saddle bags and a windshield. It's very clean and I couldn't find any blemishes at all. It's being sold by a great guy who had some foot issues and can not ride. Any advice on this purchase?
Is it a no-brainer or should I look for other issues?
Any advice for this Noob?

Buy it, quick.
I paid $2,700 for an '02 with about the same mileage on it about a year ago and never regretted it for a second.
Read up about your mods that you need to do -- it's a great bike that can be a lot better with some minor tweeks and tricks.
Gotta read your Wikipedia listing too -- got to air all them nasty downsides with you so you will know I am being all fair and impartial and telling you the real story.

Mine has turned in a high of 85 mpg...averages in the mid-70s mpg...
A little gas goes a long way? Tell her the money you save on gas could buy her somethig nice? Although she'd probably hold you to it...

I checked out the Wiki article...didn't say much in the way of what needs to be done. I assume I should be able to use the search featue here and get all the info I need...right? Thanks for the tips.

If she can remember things I said to her in an argument we had six years ago, you can bet She
will
hold me to it!
Nonetheless, that's a great angle, I think I'll use it...
I spoke to the seller today and he said he will hold the Savage for me until the banks open on Tuesday if I give Him $100.00 deposit. He's a good guy...I rekon i will be at the ATM tomorrow morning and I'll probably be lurking on these boards most of this evening...Mua Ha Ha Ha....

Welcome to the Savage community. You may have a little explaining to do to your wife when you come home with a big ear-to-ear smile every day. I caught myself doing that on the way to work this morning, riding along smiling from ear to ear. I never smiled on my way to work before I got "Thumper".

I wouldn't buy the bike if I were you.
Once you get a Savage or S40 you'll be trapped.
I've been in here for 3 years and I can't get out.

Is there a support group or twelve step program for me in case my life becomes unmanageable?

No. Once you're in you can't get out...including the counselors.

Before you diagnose yourself with depression or low self-esteem, first make sure you are not, in fact, just surrounded by arseholes!
