Karl,
Well, you have your opinion, or was it an observation ? The Savage is a great bike, a throwback to the big single sixties with modern manufacturing and materials. How can you not like a 650 single with belt drive which weighs only 350 lbs. and costs $4K ? I don't recall Harley ever having a 650 single, how can one copy what didn't exist ? If you don't like Savages or Sportsters, don't buy one, but don't insult what other people enjoy.
Here's an observation for you: If you're just looking for attention, buy a dog. Or, use two thirds of what a Harley costs and buy a Valkyrie. No H-D copying there (even Harley owners bow down to that beast) and just think of all the attention you'll get riding that102hp, 98 ft-lb of torque, 6-cylinder hog.
If you can't enjoy this site, stay out of it.
