I have no intention or guts to ride a motorcycle on interstate, just around town is fine.

Going to have to wait till they get to the dealerships to give you a "which one".

As I see it, easy maintenance and 385lbs. is what makes the savage/s40 so it for me. Savage puts 30.5 ft lbs at the rear. Savage has a 2.5 gal tank and gets 52mpg (avg)

But, the Harley is water cooled and fuel injected...weighs 489lbs,(mikuni single port 35mm) Street puts 29.5 ft lbs at the rear. Street has a 3.5 gal tank and will get approx. 41mpg
