Suzuki LS 650P Savage
When I was searching for a bike I sat on a lot! None
were Harley's since I could not afford them, so most were Japanese-Metric
cruisers. I found that seat height had nothing to do with the comfort-ability of
them, the standard was 26 1/2" high and that was great. Width of the bike threw
me off, It added to my 29-30" inseam and made it where I was on tip toes or not
comfortable. I found the Suzuki Savage LS 650 to fit perfectly. It was light
weight, being around 300lbs. and very narrow. I could reach all the controls
very easily. So that is what I bought. The only negative thing I can say about
the bike is that it is very hard to get any accessories for it. I don't want a
windshield, but it can be had. I can't get a wider seat but can get a gel one
from Suzuki, which for my tailbone would be nice after a long ride. It has
plenty of get up and go. The clutch friction area seems to be small and you have
to use if you go under 10mph or stall it out. The gear changing ratio is
1st-0-12, 2nd-12-22, 3rd-22-32, 4th-32-40, 5th-40+. I down shift a lot instead
of using the brakes, since once you let off the throttle it slows down very
fast. Which is good to have for a beginner! The average gas mileage I get on it
is approx. 62 miles to the gallon. The bike only comes in the colors of black or
green, both have metallic flake in them that are visible in the light. I paid
approx. $4,000 for the bike brand new. Review: Bobbie, Ride My Own
