You insulted me when you wrote:

First of all, I do NOT want a quirky little single cylinder custom bike. That is NOT why I picked the Savage. I DO want performance, handling, braking, and power and I have been quite happy on the Savage for over three years.
YOU say I have the "wrong bike" -- basically claiming that I am a bloody know-nothing idiot. That you do notice you are insulting people doesn't mean you are not highly insultive.
The Savage exceeds my requirements performance, handling, brakes and power. Yet you claim that I have "the wrong bike." What bike should I be riding?
For goodness’ sake man, when I said “Anybody who wants performance, handling, brakes or power and buys a Savage has the wrong bike”, what I meant was that people who want a fast cruiser buy a V-max, people who want handling buy a Ducati 916, people who want power buy a Hayabusa, if you want good brakes buy a Jap race rep.
If you want a combination of performance features, buy a ZRX1200 or something similar. If you want a pretty, unique and highly appealing little bike and are prepared to accept compromise in terms of power, handling and brakes, then buy a Savage because it’s a nice little thing but is pretty crap in terms of
all performance measurements.
And, if you’re going to do so, remove the corn cob from wherever it might be stuck.
