The Suzuki LS650 Savage was my first motorcycle, rode that thing everyday to and from highschool, that thing might not have been powerfull, but it was nimble and its engine had shitloads of charisma spewing out the tailpipe!
Made the mistake of trading it a year later - Was convinced that more ponies was the way to go, but ended up regretting when the traded bike turned out to be a lemon.
Without the cash to buy my old bike back or rebuild, I ended up selling it for a loss. Several different bikes came and went, but that tiny Savage had burned itself permanently on my mind. Once you go thumper you never go back.
Fast forward to today and it's decided; this long legged son of a bitch is getting a new Savage.
But at 6'6" it's limited how many ways a man can fit on one of those things - massive forward controls or the Ryca treatment, so a bit of forward planning is needed..
Then this crazy Swede settled things, that LS650 scrambler is too rad to miss and who wouldn't want a single cylinder thumping scrambler.
