Jetson-mobile sewing machine lawn mower all are metaphors maybe not the right antics to use but none the less there are people who are disappointed when they first hear the bike especially those whom have never heard a thumper and know squat about them.
Im in love with my bike.I think the savage sounds timid until you get on the highway or on the street with room enough to hit the gears.
It really is beyond me why suzuki doesn't emphasize the unique single chareteristics more.
A good exhaust can show off this lean beautiful riding machine.Forget the half Harley sound ,I just want to hear my black street pony work that one wonder cylinder.
So jetsom-mobile,lawnmower,sewing machine the guy is right this bike does sound shy and as if it does not want to be annoying or be bothersome,but why?This bike wants to sing you can feel it go thru you when you roll the throttle
so why not; its a wonderful sound ,like no other.
Into the wind free and safe.
