Looks like what I'd end up with by putting my Savage engine in my dead 1971 Honda CL100 frame. ind of hard to believe that the Savage engine has been in production since sometime in 1982 isn't it? Wonder if it was as interesting a machine as it's newer rendition (LS650), although I'd say keeping the chain final drive would have been much better than the belt used now. I'd rather clean/lube a chain than spend a coupe hundred dollars on a belt (mine has just shy of 11000 miles and is starting to split, and that is WITH proper maintenance procedures).
I'd pay a couple bucks for one, if only to get the chain drive pieces off of it.
