From the advertisement.

This is hands down the most Bad Ass Suzuki Savage you're likely to ever see...Period.

That is absolutely, without a doubt, probably one of the lamest proclamations of certainty that I've seen. Maybe.

It IS a striking example of the breed. I wouldn't want it unless it had a front fender and the exhaust not louder than the Supertrapp. And I want handle bars, , but I Totally dig that front end, and the tank, how they did the motor, dang, its sharp.

I don't seen any plumbing hooked into the oil ports where the connection would have to be made....so I would guess it is just a chin spoiler with some mesh in the middle.

It is a cool bike, and one that does appear to be ridden. Too many of these show bikes just aren't capable of being actually used, and to me they are pretty much worthless if you can't ride them for a couple hundred miles on a nice cool summer evening.

I wanna know what it sounds like with a 2" exhaust off the head tht looks to be straight thru. I have a similar setup that's 1 3/4 from the head and with a small amount of baffling it's still really loud.

This makes me sad in a way. With all the one off work done on this bike under 9k was the best they felt they could get. I'm sure there's that much in parts and labor alone not including the price of the original bike.

Just the wheels alone are a bit over 2k depending on size and who you buy them from. Add in rotors and hardware and your looking at over 2500 just in the wheels. The price kills me. There had to of been some sponsored or donated items on that bike to have an 8900 asking price and atleast break even.

I've looked into that recessed fuel sight gauge. There's a company on eBay that sells them for 60 bucks in straight or curved applications. Now that I've seen it I'm gonna do it for sure.

Not to mention the considerable labor time involved to do something like this. Then there is the cost of the bike itself to begin the project.
