yeah,im lucky i didn't get killed.but awhile ago i was going to trade my truck for a 883 sportster and a 96 mustang,but that deal didn't work out. im really thinking about a sport bike,maybe a new 500 or 650 ninja,my dad works six and half days a week so the sporty1200c is mine most of the time so i really dont want another one.
yeah my brother got the savage for his first bike,he didnt do any research on it ,kind of an impulse buy,and he out grew it in less than 7 months,he couldn't stand the buzy a$s motor. so when he left for iraq 3 years ago,he gave me the savage as a "hope u dont die" present. but the first year and a half i didnt ride it because i was 17 working third shift 70 hours a week,so when i finally started to ride the savage probably in 2004,i fixed the factory oil leak,then kept fixing it ever since,so i only got to ride it 11 months the rest was down time.yeah i've never been satisfied with it. a 650 with the power of a 125,yeah it's small but thers a million small bikes out there that dont copy the technolgy of a lawn mower.
i might part it out, it does have brand new paint
the only positive thing that came out of the savage was meeting the people on this forum and most of all meeting jim_r.
