Hey JP,
It sounds to me like you have made an excellent case to go ahead and buy the Savage.

Jp, I'm 5'4 the bike is PERFECT for me I tried out just about every other bike before finding the savage. Most of the dealers around here don't carry many because they claim it to be unpopular in their inventory and sit for a long time before they sell. This is only what they "claim" as I have heard from the two local dealers here. But seriously this bike is way too small for you. try the Intruder or a Maruader you can find one in the price range your looking to stay around. And HEY! SYLVESTER is my avtar!! I had him first! go find another one!

Yes it kinda does.

It's newer so maybe won't strand me in the mountains (which would really piss off my wife, as she wishes I didn't even ride a bike cause I'm showing poor judgement, and she'd have to drive the truck to some god forsaken place three hours away to pick me up  Embarrassed)

LOL! You might consider a MoTow subscription, just in case.  That way you don't have to hear about it forever if anything should ever happen.

Boo hoo!

I just test drove the '04 Savage. It was fun!

Yep, it's too small for me (6'1", 33" inseam, 200 lbs).

You folks have been a great resource, and I appreciate all the help, advice, and have really enjoyed reading through the forum.

Keep it between the lines, ride safe...
