hi tammi
they are very popular on the european continent, but not here in the UK, thats one reason i bought one, different.
Dont really know how popular they are in the USA so can't answer your original question.

i went to my local dealer and they said they sell out there savages the first day they hit the floor this is in batavia ohio also a woman i work with her boyfriend just bought one for someone he had over 200 call for the bike with in 3 day so i guess there ok in ohio

I checked into it. When I bought mine in 1998, the dealer told me that Suzuki allowed 3 new ones per dealership, per year. When those sold out, find a dealer with one left or sell the customer a different bike. He had 3 new ones, 5 overstock from the year before, and several used ones on the floor when I found mine. He'd brought them in from TN, MS, AL, and LA. They were all sold by close of business the day I picked mine up. Something about the wheelie I pulled might have contributed to that...

And when I lived in Spain in 1995/6, small bikes were the rage. HDs were coming on strong, so were Triumphs, but thumpers ruled the roost. Crooked little Roman Empire era roads, high fuel costs, and litre plus displacement bikes don't mix very well.

I think there are more of us here than are on Bert's listing.  I'm on it though.

Several weeks back I read an article in some magazine...do not remember which one... about this guy who had just set a record for a timed ride from Alaska to Florida (at least I think it was Florida).  I was thinking that if I...we...someone could make that ride on a Savage and set a new record for the thing, that it would be great PR for the Savage.  
I know that the Savage would be a very good bike to make this type of run on because of it's reliability.  Start out with a new set or really good tires and everything checked out, a few spare parts/tools and take off.  Maybe do the Marauder tank swap for the extended range...that could be useful in some of the more sparse areas of the country.
Anyway, this could be a great ride........talk about an IRON BUTT RIDE!!!  
Does anyone else know of this particular race?  Any details of when, how, who to contact, etc?

I saw a piccie in today's local fish wrap of a guy who did the Alaska to Florida thing on a bicycle.

 

would everybody please be quiet about what a great little machine we have,    next thing ya know everybody will want one, there will be a bunch of "clones", then i'll have to find something new.  


now shsssss.
