Little bird may have looked like dust bowl itenerant worker but you can pack the bike like a mule and it will go w/o complaint.


Stop!! I laughed so hard I had to head to the bathroom.  Grin

Gotta find that picture when I went to the NAMMY's, actors in tow. This itinerant worker looked pretty darn good in black leather and heels.

I can't stop laughing.

See you have to go with the Savage - these guys will pick on you unmercifully, give you awesome advice and make you smile. What more could you ask?

Oh and I really don't think the Vstrom would be as much fun or addictive as the Savage but what do I know. I'm just the dust bowl worker.  Wink

Well now black leather and heels would certain ranked a different comment, but the bike loaded to the gills all by it's lonesome all I could think of was 'where's granny's rockin' chair?'   Grin  Glad I made you smile, you make me smile too.   Wink

I have an '05 S40 and an '07 V-Star.  I DO NOT like the V-Star.  My wife rides it and she loves it, but it doesn't 'fit' me right.  I'm a big guy so it's not that, I think it's just the way it handles.  Neither is great on the Interstate.  The V-Star is obviously better for 2-up, but if you're gonna be 2-up riding that's definitely not the bike for you.  The hardware is every bit as cheap as what's in the Savage.  The S40 is 10 times more fun to ride and that's why I rarely ride the V-Star.  

For you, I'd look into the C50T from Suzuki.  For the price and the setup, I don't see how you could beat it.
