I recently purchased this 2001 Suzuki Savage 650 with 16k miles for $400 from a co-worker who needed space in his garage.
Looking at the pic below, you may ask why it's in pieces... The former owner found an oil leak and decided to remove the engine to fix the problem. Up to that point the bike was running great, but leaving small droplets of oil. He later found out from a local bike shop that removing the engine wasn't necessary.
So, this will be a project with a 52mpg reward.
My plan, besides the obvious, is to paint the bike in flat black, remove the broken windshield, wrap the exhaust, paint the exhaust flat black, and purchase a bobber kit.
