Not quite right, sorry, I have to disagree. I find the engine to be of a good design.
It' a big bore, reliable, maintenace friendly engine of good torque.
And the design of the bike itself is great as well to my opinion. Flawless, good-looking,
with much chrome, like a chopper should.
However, Bruce is right, and that's probably what you have meant as well. Changing the spark
plug and the battery is a pain in the ***, the guy who is rensponsible for this crap should be
sentenced to changing spark plugs and batteries on Savages for the rest of his life.
There are others misadvantages, like no middle-stand and no tripmeter, but doesn't riding this
baby get you all over these flaws?
