Another 2 cents worth:
If you like the Rebel, think of the Savage as it's big brother. I had a 1986 Rebel before I bought my 95 Savage. You will REALLY appreciate the added room and speed. Weight difference is mildly more and is still zippy. The Savage will make you feel like it's going to jump out from under you compared to the Rebel. It has much more torque.
Over the last 2 years I've switched the seat on the Savage, put on a HD turnout pipe, rejetted, wider handlebars, floor boards, and converted to a chain (all easily done in your garage by you). I now run COMFORTABLY at 65 on the freeway and still get 58-60MPG. I also added a 2 gallon tank from a lawn tractor (still using temporary attachments-no pics yet) that I paid $25 for on ebay. I now have a range now of around 250 miles without stopping.
That's what you can do with a Savage....
