Around the same time i bought my 98 savage my
bro bought the 99 shadow July of 98 the 99 shadow
was already on the floor .about 800 more for his bike
yeah the v-twin will do it every time.
This is a really nice bike and a bike that is
very comparable to the thumper. I like the 600 shadow
except even though a bit bigger than the savage and
a v-twin still not the power of my 650 savage in any
range bottom or top end he only has 4 speed which really make a difference. We ride together everywhere and so we have found and he has admitted that the savage by far is yet a bit more perky. I still like
his bike though. Many have challenged this statement
but in all 650 rates a better bike. the only place
he came out ahead was a smoother ride when riding
doubles with our wives. thanx again bill
