Back in July one of my buddies came home with a new Suzuki C50. I thought it was a nice bike but didn't care for the radiator, spoke wheels or the shaft drive. Besides, I've had Savages for 20 years. Well, since my current Savage is in the middle of a makeover & I hate being without a bike long enough to get it done, I started doing some research.
I knew I wanted air-cooling, mag wheels & a belt drive. And I wanted decent fuel economy at a good price. In other words, basically an updated Savage.
Nov. 19 I flew to Tennessee & for $7089 I rode away the next morning on a 2009 V-Star 950T. After little more than a month I've put 1800 miles on it while making it mine. I'm very happy with my purchase & would do it again in a heartbeat.
