Bigger is better, haven't you heard?

There's so many people out there w/ the rediculious notion that anything less than 1200cc is a practically a scooter. What those "sheeple" are too ignorant to realize is that their 1800+cc's of "Real Mans Bike" comes w/ 200+lbs of unnecissary lard. That is why bikes like the Savage get little respect. Never mind the fact that it'll leave those overweight pigs in the dust when the road starts curving or that with a few simple mods it'll run right there w/ bikes w/ 2x the displacement.

The whole "cruiser crowd" mentality annoys the crap out of me. I'm at the point where I'm ready to switch from my sportbike to something more comfortable but I'm NOT ready to settle for a morbidly obese bike w/ a monster sized motor that puts out a pitiful 60hp. Although the savage isn't my "ideal bike" (it is my wifes "ideal bike" though). I do appreciate it's lightweight nimble chassis and ample power. I think w/ some mods (and a few parts from Lancer) I could definately make a Savage into something very close to what I'm looking for.

Sorry for the rant session. Congrats on the ride. I took a road trip last year on my GSXR (1200mi in 3 days) and it is still one of the best experiances of my life. There is NOTHING like hitting the open road on a bike. Enjoy the ride and don't let anyone bring you down because they fail to understand the appeal of the Savage.
