Does anybody know of a Suzuki Savage going cheap? either 400 or 650. My partner nows want a bike for herself. Im look Trade and Exchange and Trademe, there is one on Trademe but they have put a new motor in it a new Triumph Speedmaster. Now I dont know anything much about bikes so Im hoping you guys can help me out. Thanks.

I traded mine 15 month old one into Wellington Motorcycles. 3 weeks ago
It has bigger jets so it doesn't backfire as much, brand new Metzler tyres (stock ones are rubbish) and a Ventura pack frame.
I bought it new with 0 ks on clock and looked after it really well, had all the services at the right time, run in carefully. Not sure if it has been sold, will be about 5 to 5.5 thousand.
Great bike - never droppped it once not even in driveway.
I went up to the S50. but I do miss my Savage.

So not that cheap but in perfect condition and won't have any hidden surprises.

And it is white, so it looks nice.
A great bike for a woman rider.

Was it your partner that hopped on my S50 at the ride? To see how she fitted?

I'm pretty sure she said she's not a member but she knows Flame who invited her along. Think she was on a GPX, I can't remember her name though, or my own most of the time for that matter.

Nope - Bridget (Mrs Nudemetalz) was on the Moto Guzzi.

I think y'all are talking about Sue (Kawasaki 650) - she's not a member but she's the one who I almost bought her Honda VTR 250 (got too pricey on the auction) and who told me about KB (her son is a member).

Big ups to Sue!

*Edit - looks at photo. Of course, if that is Bert, then Sue is on her right (but the left as you look at the photo).

Bridget is the one in the black and white, tho, pretty sure.

*throws confusion upon matter*

Provided I'm right about which one is Bert_is_evil....

Is she at the head of the table (Bert is in the black with the white rectangle on it?)

Yip that's me all right. I don't remember seeing you though - was that you with the brown feathers, nostrils at the end of your beak, about the size of a large chicken?

[elle-f]

no bert that was me and quite frankly - thats offensive! i have shaved the feathers off since

[shandi]

Well I went and had a look at the Savage that is for sale on Trademe and its an absolute shitter! It looks as though someone has tossed it out to sea and several years later dragged it out again! Geez I wish you could warn others on Trademe.

What did you shave the feathers off for??? They made you look so pretty!

[Trudes]

This post...isn't that Sphinx (Steffi)?

Yep, and nope.

[Trudes]

Yep must be Sue. Thanks for coming Sue, sorry I didn't meet you, feel free to come along to the next one too ok!! (And since you're not a member here, I'm probably talking to myself (do it all the time), but maybe someone will pass the word along to you).

[shandi]

sorry I posted twice by accident premature button pushing

[QUOTE=bex;863141]Hi there Shandi Did he tell you I'm 'test riding' a Hornet tomorrow?

Hey Bex how did you get on with the Hornet??

[apteryx_haasti]

Well, that's an almost accurate description. I was at the other end of the table from you with my crazy helmet hair.

The back of my head is on the RHS of that photo that Skel linked to....if that's any help....

[bert_is_evil]

Aha! not feathery or chicken like after all

[elle-f]

yunga HAHA i know but i have prizegiving tonight and i thought it would be best! actually today we had a laugh in class - the year 8 girls were asking me to let them dye my hair and i thought WHY NOT as i was talking to them about *memorable moments* at school so today at 11.30 two of them set to it and lathered my hair in dark brown dye in front of about 20 onlookers *eep* and i was stuck walking around school with a bright yellow plastic bag on my head and a beanie until the lunch bell rung at 12.30 and i raced home and managed to wash the dye out and clean the marks off from around my forehead and all in all, they didnt do too bad a job. i wont be offering any more *memorable moments* for the children that include me though HAHA
