my first bike!!! (high quality pics)
01/04/16 at 12:05:27

Hi everyone!

This is my first post, so I figured I would share my quick story and some pics of my bike.

specs:
2000 suzuki savage ls650
pearl canyon yellow
6,800 miles

I got her this summer and put about 500 miles on so far. I passed my motorcycle safety coarse in PA last summer and got my license. I got this bike for $1,000 cash. It was in excellent condition and just needed all the chrome cleaned up with some Never Dull and she was looking great!

So far this is what I've done this winter:
4" z bars
black iso grips
axle mount side plate relocation
LED plate frame
Front mini chrome bullet signals(also running lights)
Rear mini chrome bullet signals
Bikemaster mini mirrors(not installed in pics)
plastidipped front fender flat black
removed rear fender rails, sissy bar, and front frame reflectors.

I love this bike and it's been a blast already in the first few months that I've owned it. I can't wait to get out and ride with all my new upgrades next summer! Thanks for looking.

Beautiful bike. I like the color.

I paid $1000 for mine, and mine was uglier and beat up (and still is). Tongue

You got a good deal on yours. If that one was available close by when I bought mine, it's possible that I would have bought it instead. Of course, there's value to an ugly, beat-up bike-- there's not much to lose if you wreck it. Wink

I've often thought about 'Z' bars instead of tracker bars, but never saw a S40 with them until now. They look great, I may try them too. Good work!
