I look at the bike below, and I know that the Savage would make one hell of a standard. I have posted the picture once more in the hopes that someone might know who owns this bike. I would give a lot to be able to contact this person.

http://savage.andruschak.net/tempter/ Others, one of:

Suzuki ST400, as far as I know it is a Japan domestic only model. Some have been Grey Market in NZ. Japan also has the LS400, and as far as I know the engines fit both. Means that the ST frame is ready, the engine for our LS650 is ready, all they have to do is produce the ST650 to the U.S.. ** Drool**

This is what the Savage should have been offered as.

Reminds me of the beautiful BMW R75/6 and earlier versions, they came in one color - black - with hand-made pinstriping Cool

Posts: 3547 Rome, Italy Gender:	Re: One More Time Reply #10 - 08/19/10 at 02:11:22 Now, this one is nice but THIS ONE is, IMHO, much much better, much closer to the 1960's look & idea Nptice the reduced rake angle, drum brake, 1 1/2 seat, long thin exhaust and clip-on handlebars. Color scheme is also spot on !!! YUMMY !!!
