It's weight will make it a superior 1st bike no matter your size. Don't buy something you can't afford to drop. Check insurance too, guaranteed higher over 650.
To be fair I checked out the new Honda Spirit 750 now w/ shaft drive, considered selling both and getting the new shaftie. Why have one 750 when a 650 and a 800 will do better?
From a stop the Savage is quicker than 800, because it's lighter.
Unlike cages, bikes have personalities.
Kept mine, prefer it for short urban trips. Gets the best mileage. When gas hits $5 you won't be sorry.
Cousin, ex-Savage owner keeps buggin me to sell the Savage to him.
