What they should've called 'em was metamucil in a rubber tortilla. F* me once, shame on you... F* me twice, shame on me. LOL

Haven't named my Bike, but have always thought Suzuki should've used the tag "Prowler" for the LS650 instead of Savage ... let's face it, a "Savage" it ain't ... Prowler would've fit better with Intruder and Marauder and the LS is a fairly quiet, low-profile boulevard Cruiser ... so IMHO, "Prowler" should've been what the LS650 was called all along 8)

Hmmm... I like the name "savage." The bike is savage... on the rider on a long trip... Anyone who's done 1000 miles in a day on a savage knows what I'm talking about...

I hear ya. That stock saddle is good for the first 100 miles before needing a break. Then the next 90. Then 80.

By the time I hit Massachusetts, I could sit on it maybe 5 miles before feeling the burn.

The Russell Day-Long, on the other hand, is wonderful.

Reply #34 - 09/17/05 at 09:19:53 I hate to admit to such, but I named this one Punkie. No reason. No excuse. Don't know why. Maybe I was thinking "spunkie" after she threw me off in 2000....

C'mon people! I thought for sure someone was gonna come up with this name..."La Poderosa". You know, the bike from the "Motorcycle Diaries" movie. After I saw that movie I had to call my bike that. I gonna get a friend who airbrushes, to paint it on the side of the tank. If any of you haven't seen the movie, rent it. I'm not a supporter of the two men in the movie, but it was a darn good cycle movie, nonetheless. I have asked several Hispanic friends of mine what the exact meaning of the word is, but I get different answers from all of them. In the movie, it means "the Mighty One". Must be Argentinian.

Reply #36 - 09/17/05 at 13:44:17 I've been calling my Savage the Silver '02 but haven't given it a real name yet. Sometimes it gets call some good names in the garage but none that I'll use in mixed company. I call it the savage when talking about it, not very orignial but works for me.

That sounds like Babbalou's. Google "La Petomane" and you'll see why he named his as he did.

Anyway, I got a brand new S40 as my first bike ever and love it. I am running it stock until the warranty runs out. On the subject of the thread I have taken to refering to her as the "Monolith" for obvious reasons.

Welcome to the gang! If you're planning to stay stock for a year, you'll still enjoy the bike but I hope you like backfiring. Have fun and ride safe!
