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. | |||
==2006 Suzuki Boulevard S40== | |||

[[File:suzuki-boulevard-s40-2006-2006-0.jpg|600px|2006 Suzuki Boulevard S40]] | |||
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. | |||
Lightweight and easy to master, the Boulevard S40 sports a Forty-Eight-inspired tank with lines beautifully integrated into the seat, and tall, comfy bars for effortless streaking through the urban jungle and smooth turns on countryside roads. Easy on the budget with running and maintenance, the Boulevard S40 is a neat second step in the bike universe. | |||

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. | |||
These include a skinnier front wheel, raked out forks, peanut tank and tall-risers for the handlebars. The front brake uses a disc, but the rear has a drum. The final drive employs a zero-maintenance belt. | |||

The Boulevard S40 recipe was not changed for the 2011 MY iteration of the bike, so you're dealing with the same classic-shaped chopper powered by a single-cylinder engine breathing through a shorty pipe, and sporting a skinny front wheel at the end of racked-out fork, complemented by a beefy rear one hidden under a chopped fender. | |||
2011 also introduces two new liveries, the Pearl Mirage White/Metallic Veil Silver and Metallic Fox Orange/Glass Sparkle Black, which frankly make the bike look its best. The 652cc single and 5-speed transmission are a great recipe for two-wheeled fun both in the city and outside it. | |||
