However the Savage is a bike in a class of its own, since it is powered by an air-cooled thumper engine which has a particular vibe and tonal character, and which is by all means, a matter of love or hate.

Does the 2005 MY Boulevard S40 look familiar? Well, that's because you're looking at a familiar bike, which used to be called the LS650 Savage. The rebranding is aimed at building a strong Boulevard family, but which retains all the character of the old machine. The Boulevard S40 is a cruiser powered by a 655cc air-cooled single mated to a manual 5-speed transmission and belt final drive.
The front wheel is skinny and harks back to the classic choppers of old, while the raked-out fork, the classic headlight and the teardrop tank are stressing out the retro vibe so many riders simply love. Compact, yet low and comfy, the Boulevard S40 is ready to provide huge fun.

The '''Suzuki Boulevard S40''' is a [[motorcycle]] manufactured by [[Suzuki]] and released in 2005.  It features an 650 [[cc]] single cylinder engine.
The old Savage has been re-baptized as the Boulevard S40, but the character of the bike remained the same. However, Suzuki looks like paying more attention to the aesthetics of the bike, as the 2006 MY Boulevard S40 looks better than the older Savage models.
The riding position was not altered, so you still get the tall bars, peanut tank and skinny front wheel with a matching fender. This thumper-powered chopper may look a bit odd, but after all, you just can't argue with the fans of this bike. The fact that the old Savage is still on sale is enough evidence for the following this bike still enjoys.

A small-to-middleweight machine, the Boulevard S40 is just the right choice for newer riders and for those not strong and confident enough to take on the big bore bikes. A single-cylinder chopper inspired by the '70s classic machines is the best way to start discovering the two-wheeled world.

Even though a thumper will never be able to replace a v-twin, the 2009 MY Boulevard S40 can be a decent  machine to ride before you become confident enough to ride the big-bore cruisers. With strong styling cues reminding of Harley's Forty-Eight, the Boulevard S40 packs a 652cc displacement and classic cruiser looks.

The Boulevard S40 is a nifty middleweight cruise built for fun. Simple, purist and non-intimidating, this bike is a great choice for people who want to take a step up from the entry-level small-displacement bikes and are eyeing classic-looks motorcycles. The 2010 MY Boulevard S40 maintains the design inspired by the '50s ad '60s thumpers, and is a particularly interesting presence as a single-cylinder chopper.

A true timeless design can withstand the passage of years without any needs of major changes, and the 2015 MY Boulevard S40 is just the right way to prove the truth behind this claim. A true classic bike, the S40 retains the laid back style of the retro choppers, with tall risers, a skinnier front wheel and drag bars. The peanut-shaped tank is still in its place, and so is the shorty, aggressive exhaust.

Of course, a thumper chopper is a rather peculiar sight, but once you're in the saddle, things will look differently. Affordable and easy to maintain and run, the Boulevard S40 is a great choice for entry-point riders and even for more seasoned guys who like middleweight machines.
