2009 on Dealer Showroom floor - Two Tone paint
11/11/08 at 18:31:07

Ok... Pict's are from my old cell-phone so forgive me..... I was at the local Stealership getting some parts for my son's '73 Honda SL70 and wasn't planning on taking photo's......

What do I see as I walk in ....

right at the front door.....

A '09 S40 with two tone paint .....

Hmmm .... dealer hasn't been able to keep S40's on the floor for very long.... I guess it's a good sign....

I still prefer the solid black one, that's just my taste though.

The tu-tone with the red, is red and white I believe, not red and silver ... betcha a black and silver or black and white paint schemes would be nice too!

OOOOOH! I want one! I want one!!!!

Would you believe that my wife was mad at me when I sold my '04? She would have rather traded her scooter than my Savage.......

I need another one.............

Ok, can we start a collection fund. Call it the Former Savage Owner's recovery fund...... Send donations to......... Grin

And the rest of us said, "Yeah, do go get yourself another bike, fill up that other nich that you need filled, but for God's sake don't sell the quick nimble get around town bike .... you'll regret it if you do because a whole lot of your riding is quick get around town type riding."

Another bike isn't bad -- dumping the Savage gets regrets.

I filled all my niches and I still ride the Savage most. This spring I will likely dump the squid bike because I've gone fast and I've cut corners enough to know what they were talking about. An SV650 is a neat bike for a seventeen to twenty-something to have. It does all the neat things the bike rag writers say it does. It will knock on 120-125 mph and it gets there like right now (before you finish out the exit lane on to the interstate as a matter of fact). But ....

The Savage is the bike the battery stayed in over the winter. Grinding a Savage peg is just as satisfying as rubbing a squid feeler spud on the ground. In town, the Savage blows up the speed limit just as good as the SV650 does (it just doesn't sound like it is going racing when it thumpa thumpa thumpas -- it get less nasty cop looks and far fewer tickets)

BUT, my engine had 51,000 miles on it when I put it out to pasture. It was in need of a complete overhaul which would have cost more than I paid for the bike in the first place. I don't regret selling it. I just regret not having it...... It is a GREAT little bike!

It looked like the silver was painted on. The little stripe (gold'ish colored) looked like tape put on to cover the seam because you could faintly see where the white & silver met.
