HI! fellow savage riders and perspective gains.
We all know of the things. the savage has:
PROS plenty of around town power and does good
on the highway with minor altering.
easy to manuever
great gas mileage about 110 before going to reserve thats not bad for a small tank.
low maintenence.
sharp looks always an attention getter.
all around fun bike right? well, yes there are
some cons however they are all cons in which
can be easily and affordibly corrected from
the sqeaks,oil leaks, power, seating,carbs,
these problems me a person who rides every
day about 1400 miles a month excluding roadtripps
has figured out and im very happy with all categories of this bike its great for me im 5"8
and so yet it is comfortable for me in every way
the bike has more potential than you can imagine
it just takes patients and time.my 650 would surely blow by most of you at 10 20 40 50 65 75 and even 85 miles per hour that not a brag it is just the way it is for you power people but i dont race it i just got it to this point for
purposes of having it in case!!!! I love it
and want to help you get yours right. even
those with $15,000 bikes complain of all the same things believe it all my buddies have those bikes
and trully envy me for power sound and composure
of a bike. my wife said she would like to see me
quiet it down a bit though cause she can here me
coming and going on the highway about 5 blocks away inside the house and my wife is slightly hearing impaired . god bless you all bill
