RycaShawn Full Member Offline Ryca Fan Posts: 145 Los Angeles Gender:	Do we have a source for annual production numbers 01/13/16 at 09:09:25 The Savage and Boulevard have been on the active production line since 1986 but do we have a source for the number of motorcycles produced per year? Curious to know.

This is not a very popular motorcycle (outside of this website). You aren't going to find much info other than what the members here have found out for themselves.

It is interesting that the Tempter 400 was manufactured along with the Savage from 1997-2003. I had always thought that it preceded the Savage in the early 80's.
I'm all for Suzuki producing a bike like this with the LS650 engine and fuel injection, a camshaft like the Stage 3, a real 5th gear overdrive, upgraded brakes and suspension, and a GOOD muffler that will perform properly.

Those are easy things to do and should not add much to the price since they already have all that stuff on the shelf now from other models.
