The Suzuki Boulevard S40 (formerly Suzuki LS650 Savage) is a lightweight cruiser motorcycle manufactured by the Suzuki Motor Corporation[3][6][7] for the Japanese domestic market, and exported to New Zealand,[8][9] North America,[10][11][12][13] as well as to Chile[14] and other countries.
The Suzuki Boulevard S40 is an entry-level cruising motorcycle derived from the LS650 Savage, the first chopper manufactured by a Japanese builder in 1986.
Introduced in 1986 as the Savage, Suzuki's Boulevard S40 650 cc single-cylinder cruiser motorcycle still has its charms after two decades.
