Thanks all... I really appreciate the feedback!!!
I keep coming back to the Savage/S40, even though some months ago, I came this close to buying a Ninja 250. I took it out with the owner, who also had some type of a sit-up Yamaha. When we got to the furthest point on the test ride, I traded with him and felt soooo much more comfortable on the Yamaha. I need the sit-up-right position, so even if I did end up with a not-so-sporty sport bike, I would still have to change the handlebars.
I really don't have the urge to go all out while riding, I just want to go for nice country rides. I guess I need to listen to what I am saying
Getting my bike seems to be taking along time, but that's OK, I have a few other projects I need to finish first. One of these days, I hope I surprise you all with a Savage/S40
Hi Paladin! Since I live in N. California, can you tell me more about Angels Crest?
Steve530, do you have any problems when you go for rides with your wife....dissimilarities in handling, keeping up with each other, not other problems
PS. I forgot to say, I also came this close to buying an '87 Savage a year ago or so. I even took the $ and my trailer to go pick it up, but it had wayyyy too much rust
