suzuki boulevard s40

The Suzuki Savage / Boulevard S40 produce sufficient torque for city and suburban jaunts. The single 40mm carburetor keeps the bike moving until 120 km/hr at which point acceleration drops to a crawl up to 150 km/hr, if you make it to that speed. The Suzuki Savage 650 / Boulevard S40 aren’t designed for highway commuting. Its lightweight and low center of gravity will make it a comfortable choice for those looking for a light cruiser with a little more torque than what the 250cc Japanese bikes have to offer. A throw-back to the 1980s, the Savage 650 / Boulevard S40 has kept its cost-cutting rear drum brake. This is a bike that doesn’t pretend have changed a thing, besides its name. A brand new 2012 model will still give the same strong vibrations at highway speeds as it did in 1986. Its single exhaust won’t sound any better either.

The reality is the S40 doesn’t need to be anything the Savage 650 wasn’t. Suzuki has created a solid machine that one should purchase if he or she’s goal is getting into motorcycle riding on an entry level machine that’s good enough to get them from Point A to Point B.
