Suzuki should've tagged the '11 LS650 as a 25th Anniversary model ... seeing as how our beloved Thumper made it's debut in 1986 ...

I expected something - I had hoped for FI but even a little fancy badging would have been a bit of recognition.

Posts: 297 Orange County, Ca Gender:	Re: 2011 S40 Reply #5 - 11/16/10 at 09:08:17 I don't claim to know near much about these bikes but I'm guessing they changed the name from Savage LS650 to Boulevard S40 in 2005? Because on that site it shows the introduction year as 2005 and not 1986. I don't know why they would do that, but it explains the lack of an anniversary edition.

It became the S40 when the rest of the lineup changed to Cubic Inch names as well.

The model designation is still LS650 as it has been for 25 years since it's introduction in 1986 and the Bike was badged the "Savage" until 2004 ... for 2005 it was re-badged the "S40" which now belongs to Suzuki's "Boulevard" Cruiser line-up ... and since the LS650 model has been around for 25 years, it's really a shame that Suzuki didn't bother to recognize it's 25th Anniversary in some way ...
