Segment: Custom/Cruiser
Production years: 2003, 2004
For the 2004 model year of the LS650 Savage, Suzuki planned updated mirrors which are now quite similar to those of the Volusia, emergency lights, a high-beam passing switch and multi-reflector turn signals. On the tech side, the LS650 Savage retains the American chopper styling with a raked fork and a skinny front wheel.
However the Savage is a bike in a class of its own, since it is powered by an air-cooled thumper engine which has a particular vibe and tonal character, and which is by all means, a matter of love or hate.
