Sweet! it has a 230cc engine (biggest one, smallest is 125), you can buy a kit and have them ship it to you to put together on your own for about half the price.
Can't seem to get the converter to work for total price tho, I click on the dollar sign and everthing goes back to original settings.
Guess they don't want us blokes buying them.... Undecided

Love to get hold of one of those. Too bad it costs so much. Looks like a chinese knock-off Honda engine. If it is, not a good sign.

jcstokes Serious Thumper Offline SuzukiSavage.com is very useful Posts: 2119 Mauku New Zealand Gender:	Re: old-riders next lighweight motorcycle - Sterli Reply #9 - 01/01/14 at 09:19:30 If we assume the flat tank motorcycle era ended in 1927 and most of them had gone off the road in 1940, a sixteen year old chick in 1940 would now be 90, or if she's youthful 89.

If I didn't hear wrong on the news recently Ford is introducing an aluminum pickup. Anybody saving up for one?

Put me in that thing on the same road as a bus, or truck......and they better have a rubber floor matt with a drain somewhere.

Well, I think i'm getting to the point that the savage is going to be my "cruiser" and to keep from starting up the truck or savage and wasting precious fuel i'm going to go electric for around town.
So now, its either build one (which could be fun creatively and keep me busy, but financially could prove dangerous), or find one that's not toooo expensive.... so far that is not so do-able.
I just want to get away from spending so much on an around town fun machine, and if I go electric I could charge it with solar or wind so it would be kinda "free" to ride.
