Do ya like it... LOL and the rep asked me if i wanted to trade my bike in... asked if he's ridden a SAVAGE he asked if i had ridden a CrossBones.. Hmm we're at a stalemate on that line of questioning
....I do LOVE the looks an oh it wont do much over 80 (cause of that springer front end??) ... like i need more of that!!! Id get a Hyabusa if that was my goal... what maroons! The beloved Savage stays!! PERIOD! .. Thoughts???

My wife said that once when I was sitting in a Nissan 300ZX that cost a years salary. Didn't offer to buy it for me though.

Of all the Harleys, the Softail Deluxe, Classic Springer, and Crossbones, sing the most for me, in that order.

  To me the sportster has a top heavy feel.

  If it was a single and weighted less than 400# I would.

Cant justify the price or lack of performance of harleys. Especially the roady. You can get comparable, if not much better performance from a metric cruiser.
