Cool!! Any chance of throwing up PDF files of the brochure and article? Wouldn't mind being able to print that stuff off!
Thanks!

But wait! :D You also have a vibration free engine, thanks to that state of the art counterbalancer, and boy that muffler sure does have a throaty exhaust note, I can hardly stand the rumble. And that "out of sight" cam chain tensioner.. why it makes the cam chain virtually maintenance free! ;D ;D :-? I mean the only thing that could spoil this immaculate package would be if any parts were made out of <spit> plastic, yes I'm certain the headlight and turn signal shells, battery box and custom-look speedometer mount are other space age, non-plastic materials.

Stimpy - nice find. I love collecting stuff like this. I've got a couple of Savage ads but that pamphlet is cool.

Glad you'all like them.
Sorry, but from these ads this is the best quality I could find, I don't have the originals so I
cannot make .pdf's, and yup, they're hard to read allright ...but who wants to do the transcript?! ;)

of course, as opposed to the hundreds of current models "outside the engine"
manual cam chain adjusters that make your life hell, yup, got it.

*virtually actually means "I'll fail at 20k" but oh well! ::)

IIRC the cam chain issue was less pronounced on early models.

We all know these things are far from vibration free.

that'll change your mind bout it ;D

seriously, the ONLY harley I like and would own is a v-rod
BUT that's cause it's NOT a harley really, it's a darned porsche! ;)

Found these on a copy of "Panamerican "Motorcycle Magazine"
from last year, it's an article covering the latinamerican relaunch
of the Boulevard S40, it reads: "let the Good Times roll"...

The 1986 ad is the one I remember after falling in love with the Savage at Expo 86 in Vancouver where one was on display. Only took me 21 years to get around to buying one. Which I will never sell.

Thanks Al, never saw that one before. Stimpy must have one heck of a motorcycle magazine collection!
