* Results may vary depending on the condition of the bike
and on how fat you are but charon and jabmans' numbers sound about right,
the secret of a quick start on a savage is to rev the
hell out of 2nd and 3rd gear; I used to start on 2nd
gear a lot, bike didn't mind, not even with a copilot.
The memory of the 1st time ever I gunned my savage
to about 70mph in front of my house on CA hwy 101
is something I'll remember on my deathbed, srsly.
...does anyone have a similar experience?
