Oooo really one whole bike,it was probably made into a bobber and sold. Suzuki don't give a crap , the savage is a niche bike , there are no others like it and they see the sr400 not doing so well here in the states , they are not about to build a standard, you want a standard buy a Yamaha , want a cruiser , that can be molded into any bike , buy the niche bike the s40 , it has its own market and Suzuki knows it they don't give a crap. Bet less than one percent of NEW s40's get bought and taken to RYCA to be transformed or are bought just for that purpose. It's a secondary market , all Suzuki cares about is the bottom line , how many they sell per year ! The secondary market means nothing,zero,zip,nada to Suzuki , no profit for them , they don't give a crap ! Now to us here this bike is many things to many people myself included , I think they are great bikes in all forms , especially Bots bike ! Don't ever be fooled by a Japanese businessman it has nothing to do with honor or any of that crap,it's the bottom line ,PROFIT ! The free bike was nothing but a business gesture, what was their cost/loss ,not much ! Might be a different story if the gave a 20 bike inventory to build bikes and honored a warranty with RYCA, but they don't do they ? Suzuki was just being nosy and don't forget they don't give a CRAP !
