It has a really nice main article titled "Retooling the Savage" 9RYCA CS-1 Cafe Racer Project. I'm not interested in Cafe Racer style bikes, but for those who are this is a neat article with seven nice pictures in it of the work progress.

I enjoyed the article too, despite a couple derogatory comments about the beloved Savage. Roll Eyes

Nice to see it in print though.

Writers have to poo-poo the Savage in order to justify all the articles on worthless 1600cc+ tankers... and 900cc beginners bikes...

Savage rocks!...

Some other articles here, too...

Here are a few more (if the links still work.) The first link works (Suzuki Savage LS 650) until I past it here, then it doesn't work. The other two seem to be okay.

I'd been peripherally aware of the Savage for years, but never paid it any real attention until I read Mark Hoyer's column about the RYCA in Cycle World in 2010. THAT caused me to take a longer look at the Savage, do some digging, find this incredible forum and, ultimately, find a great bike (used) at a great price, and get back into riding after too many years away.

I couldn't agree more with 'Bots observations. 900cc, 600lb "entry level" bikes...Say, what? In practical terms, our thumpers will do 90% or more of what far more complex, expensive, powerful, heavy, etc., etc. bikes will do.
We can find them at sub-astronomical prices, maintain them ourselves, and enjoy them enormously without going broke in the process.

I think I'm slowly easing my '07 away from "cruiser" toward "standard", but in any case it's a helluva place to start.

Don't forget that Savages make the most wicked looking/sounding/handling bobbers around.. Blue Collar Bobbers deserves some lime light in my opinion even though I feel bobbers are more purist than cafe racers, since cafe racers seem to be a sub trend now a days.. I still think a kit for either style is still silly though, but to each his own Cheesy
