Lo que los compradores deben saber
Bulletproof Single Cylinder
The S40 uses a proven 652cc single-cylinder engine that has remained largely unchanged for decades, making it one of the most reliable and simple engines to maintain in its class.
Strong Resale Value
Due to its beginner-friendly reputation and low operating costs, the S40 holds its value well in the used market, often selling for close to its original MSRP even with moderate mileage.
Watch the Carburetor
The carbureted models are prone to gumming up if the bike sits unused for extended periods, so always inspect the carb and ask about storage history before purchasing a used S40.

Presentado como Savage LS650; motor monocilíndrico de 652 cc, tanque en forma de lágrima, estilo crucero minimalista, carburador.
"Simplicidad honesta y contundente que recompensa a los ciclistas pacientes y sin prisas."
Este sencillo de 652 cc dispara con un pulso intenso y vertiGINOSO que se siente en las botas y, por debajo de las 4.000 rpm, te sorprende de verdad con lo bien que atraviesa el tráfico de la ciudad. Viajaba a diario en una moto durante dos veranos y la baja altura del asiento hacía que el filtrado urbano fuera casi una actividad meditativa: nunca se lucha contra ello. Los carbohidratos necesitan una rutina sólida para ahogarse en las mañanas frías, y las vibraciones por encima de los 90 km/h adormecerán tus manos en los viajes más largos por carretera, pero son cantidades conocidas con las que trabajas en lugar de luchar contra ellas. No es una bicicleta que oculte sus limitaciones y, para cierto tipo de ciclista, esa honestidad es lo que importa.
Pros
Contras
Cambió su nombre a Boulevard S40; pequeñas actualizaciones, nunca se adoptó la opción de inyección de combustible, el motor con carburador se mantuvo durante toda la producción.
Reseña de un comprador usado
"A perfect starter bike you'll sell within two years."
$2,500-$4,500 usedThe S40 is basically Suzuki's answer to the question nobody asked — a 652cc single-cylinder cruiser that's been shuffled through their lineup since the Savage days with minimal updates. And honestly? That's not entirely a bad thing. The engine is bulletproof. These things run forever if the previous owner wasn't completely negligent, and finding one with under 15k miles is easy because most owners rode them twice a month. Used prices are laughably reasonable. Here's the honest truth though: this bike has one gear it likes — not literally, but that thumper engine runs out of steam around 65mph and starts vibrating like a paint mixer above 70. It's genuinely fun on back roads and around town, but the moment you hit a highway onramp you'll understand its limitations. For a new rider learning fundamentals or a commuter sticking to surface streets, it nails the brief. Just don't buy one expecting to grow into it — you won't. You'll outgrow it embarrassingly fast.
