great size for mostly everything. I know guys with big baggers that never go anywhere. This a great bike for taking all the back roads and enjoying biking. Simple is good.

I went from a grom to a s40. It’s a huge upgrade. From going 50mph fully pinned to being able to hit 80mph with ease.

[matthewhayden]

Definitely big enough for the highway, this was my first bike and I put over 27, 000 miles on it commuting on the highway. Great first bike because of how light, maneuverable, and easy to work on it is. I am about to upgrade to something bigger now, maybe a Honda Valkyrie gl1500 or a Indian Scout. The new scouts are sexy!

“Might be a step up but not much”. Yeah, going from a 125cc to a 650cc. “Not much”. I think this whole “manly man” shit in the biking world is kinda toxic to new people just wanting to get around

The V-Star 650 is a great bike and is rightly loved, but it's kind of big and has a shaft drive, which is good for being low maintenance, but causes the bike to lose a bit of power. The S40 is mechanicaly an extremely simple bike so it's easy for a beginner to work on. It's very light, nimble, easy to ride, and super reliable.It's perfect for beginners, people who want a bare-bones bike or as a platform for a custom project.

I remember seeing the Savage at the dealer back in the 90s; my Dad ended up purchasing the Intruder 800 but to me, there's an appeal to having something different. That giant 650 single is a little different and I think pretty sweet. That S40 sounded pretty good in the video! Still, I hardly ever see any of these Suzuki cruisers around...

I actually went down to this. I got one for free off my mom because she's getting too old to ride. I had a vtx-1300 for a couple years, put 30, 000 miles on it going all over California then got rid of it. I decided to commute with my mom's boulevard and just fell in love instantly. Im 6' and 230lbs and it still has plenty of power for me. It feels a little small but handles so great, has enough power to get me up to 90mph on freeway and is light enough to throw around any turn. Great starter bike, great commuter, and great if you just want to enjoy a curvy back road.

I wouldn't just say its a good starter bike (which it is), I'd say its a good bike full stop. I've had mine coming up to 2 years now, and I must say, I love it. Yes, there's been times where it would have been nice to have an extra gear for highway speeds, but its a great all-rounder.

Still big enough to hang out with the bigger boys, but also nimble enough to zip through cities and towns with ease. Plus, it sounds mean when you put a Screamin' Eagle II on

I just bought an 07 boulevard S40. I haven't ridden in probably 20 years or so. This bike is perfect for someone easing back into riding or for the first time rider. I don't think I'll ever sell it tho. I do love this bike.

[sethsummer]

Im a smaller dude im like 5'7 ish and this bike is great, its the one I learned on and I still ride it almost everyday

, the Suzuki Boulevard S40 (also known as the LS650) has a counter balancer. The engine's balance shaft helps to smooth out the vibrations that are common in single-cylinder engines. This counter balancer helps to reduce the vibration and provides a smoother riding experience.

Your talk on starting with a grom and moving to a s40 is exactly what I did. I will tell it felt like a step up 100%. So funny you say that

[dmoore]

Think I found my 1st bike. Love the fact that it's a smaller bike with some displacement - even if it's just a single thumper. I built a motorized bicycle with lights, speedometer/tach, etc but it's a 70cc 2 stroke that has to wind up pretty hard just to do 35mph. Would be nice to be able to keep up effortlessly no matter where I'm riding.

[bitronic]

i think this is a HUGE step up from the grom, the grom cant get on the highway, this thing can lol

[michaelyoung]

My favorite part of the video is you reading the verse! Great video

[ReyTheGreat]

Guy says a religious quote for 10 seconds and people get all fiery? Look if thats what the guy wants to believe, then more power to him. Thats why we have our 1st amendment as Americans.

We have 2 S40's! She has a 2005. 71 years old and sold her Softail Slim. Too heavy for her now. Mine is a 2007. I sold my Road King. We live in the Florida Keys and speed limits are perfect for this bike. Lots of gravel parking lots make a light bike easier to ride.

Sean, I like what you Preach! The Savage is a Revelation! It is an alpha & omega bike. It's very user friendly for a beginner or alpha rider. And it's ideal for an older & experienced or omega rider who still wants to ride but could do without the bulk & weight of a cruiser, bagger or a very tall adventure type bike.

[brockgumpf]

I own one of these, it’s a great little bike. Their tough and a lot of fun for a new rider
