Hi Bill!
My story is about the same as Bob A - except i'm 52 and hadn't ridden in 25 years or so. I managed also to ride about 5.000 km last summer - without going anywhere. We have winter here in Denmark - but i was riding 30 km yesterday (well, i didn't observe any other bikers). I stopped when my thighs were "burning".
For your information: i'm 190 cm high - no problem. Vibrations? - which vibrations? (engine is balanced - and Savage use belt). 75 mph no problem (90-93 mph top speed - but that takes looong time). I prefer 50 - 60 mph. I have a 98-model (bought in 99). Here in Denmark we pay for 2-3 bikes - and get 1 (Savage: approx. 8.500 $). Enjoy the low prices!
Just buy it - you won't regret! And enjoy this fantastic site (i mean people)
