I figured one of these randy youngsters would point this out. Since they haven't, I'll say it...
The chicks dig it.

Yes the babes do seem to dig a man on a bike espically a zuki 650/s40 I had two ladies hit on me just because of the bike. One was a chiropractor that gave me a card and said if I had any back issues she would be happy to straighten them out. Of course I cant take her up on the offer Im married with a kid and a mistress names Savagina.
Any how the bike is as awesome to ride as this forum is to be a part of. I say if she cranks when you get on her ride it and enjoy it. I know I do. Mine is still stock with 940 miles on it.

now I would say that a new, clean, and sparkly savage attracts the ladies, cause my bike ain't winning them over with the oil slicks all over the engine and the ratty paintjob.
Or maybe its the guy on top of the bike....
nah, cant be.

I loved my '03 Savage ... and now love my '05 S40! Postive attributes are many ... looks, relative light weight and mechanical simplicity are but a few! Have noticed that the LS650 seems to get more compliments, questions and looks than any other Bike I've owned!
Bought my '03 LS brand new and had zero mechaical issues with it in 5 Riding seasons of ownership ... I looked after that Bike to the best of my ability with reg. oil changes and routine maintenance, etc. No mods other than cosmetic ... Bike was stock.
Bought my '05 S40 used ... and though it was 3 model years old, it was essentially "new" with only 980kms (600mi) on the clock and not a mark on her anywhere. The previous owner however had not followed proper storage proceedures (Bike was laid up for over a year) nor had she done any preventive maintenance ... and despite an improperly torqued front axle and pinch-bolt (which I discovered only AFTER Riding the Bike for 350 highway miles!
), she performed flawlessly on that maiden voyage and hasn't given me any trouble since (knock on wood!) ... starts everytime and is joy to Ride!

Are you kidding, A Littlebird? You've got Jimbob and Lonniebob down at the shop bending over backwards to get their hands on your valves, and look at all the attention your landlord paid you just yesterday!

I paid $3000 for my Savage in 2001 (it was used).
I've got two other bikes that cost me a total of $30,000.
I get double the compliments on the Savage than I do for the other two bikes, combined!

I really like the look of this bike. I watched "The Wild One" this morning on AMC for the first time everand the only reason i watched it was for the bikes.This is about the only bike made with classic type lines. I don't care much for the seat profile, but the"hump" gives me a place to slide back to so i can lean into the wind blast.i raed the latst post on windshields , and really,when i lean forward a bit with a full face helmet on, the wind doesn't bother me much. A guy on a Valkyrie was lookng over my S40 monday. I thought he was laughing to his friend as he climbed on his ride , but he walked back to mine and spent maybe some 10 minutes checking it out

Well if JimBob and LonnieBob were so into my bike then perhaps she'd be running right and now cutting out. Besides I scare the pee out of both of them. And rightly so.
And while my landlord is very sweet he is only interested in guys. Which means we are both eyeing up the same thing.
Not working for me somehow.

It's working. I can sense the planetary forces multiplying as we approach syzygy. Faith is required.
