S50 is a better bike. Has longer life, has more power, fits the common understending for a bike , it is V-twin,has better brakes, so overall it is more of a bike. I've had couple of them, and I still have one and I am selling it. And after I said all of this, I'll say that I ride my Savage every day, I enjoy it more, I have way more fun on it, and I am NOT selling it. To work on a Savage is a walk in the park, compared with work on the Intruder. If You have a GOOD mechanic to tune the carb's the Intruder runs SWEET, but there are not too many guys who can or who will care to do it corect. If You will carry a person behind , may be the Intruder is better. If You are talking FUN, I think Savage is the way to go. Like an investment, I think it is about the same, but the Savage seems just a little better /I might not be right/. If it was me, I'd watch for somebody in his midlife crisis, who bought his Savage couple of years ago and put 1000-2000 miles, and now he just wants to get rid of it, and I'd snatch it for about $2500. After that will ride the hell out of it and will sell it for about $2000.
