What do you get when you combine advanced
technology with a timeless design? If the
technology comes from Suzuki, and the classic
design is a big single-cylinder road bike, there
can only be one answer. The 2001 Savage.
A big single offers the thrill of motorcycling
in its purest form, complete with an unmatched
combination of torquey engine performance and
lightweight maneuverability. But the Savage
goes one better than other big singles of past
and present. It has a four-valve, Twin Swirl
Combustion Chamber head for exceptional low-
end and mid-range torque. Twist the throttle and
upshift through the five-speed transmission and
you'll find that the Savage accelerates hard and
offers crisp throttle response throughout the
powerband. A high-mass crankshaft, built-in
counterbalancer and durable, clean-running belt
drive are further examples of Suzuki's advanced
technology. They combine to provide
exceptionally smooth operation, while electric
starting with automatic decompression helps
ensure easy starting every time.
The Savage weighs in at a featherweight 352
pounds dry. Wherever you ride across town
for school or work, or out for an afternoon's
pleasure ride the Savage offers an agile
responsiveness that puts you in charge. And
that's something riders of all skill levels will
appreciate. Along with its light weight, credit
for its agility goes to its low, 27.6-inch seat
height.
The Savage. A classic design with up-to-the-
minute performance.
