Makes me cringe to think of how much money she must have spent. At least she is still riding. I doubt she'll be recommending a used Savage to anyone though https://rideapart.com/articles/big-girl-bike-vs-starter-bike

well... she did quit on the savage, and from the lead in... she wised up on stealerships too. Amazing, you buy a bike from a shop and then take it to a mechanic?

And obviously, she wasn't a savage kind of rider... we got a problem, get our elbows in gear.

To bad she had so much trouble with her Savage. �� MMRanch, I think you're spot on. She I was reading I was thinking, What is she doing riding @ 80 mph for extended periods.

She was on I10 coming out of the desert, not uncommon to ride like a bat outta hell as that's what it is. Also, she's been contaminated by riding with HD's

The speed limit on the I-state in SD where I live is 80. I rarely ride the I-State. When I do it's 70 for me. That's fast enough. I really just don't care to ride even that fast anymore. Guess I'm turning into a wimp�� I like the side roads best. Just me!

Yep...sounds like is was rode hard and put away wet (wet from oil). The first part where the bike was stalling.....I was thinking that she needed to replace that vacuum petcock!

Guess I'm lucky. Someone went through that problem before I got mine. They replaced that pesky petcock with some Polaris unit or something.

Ok, I gave her a few pointers on what she "should have seen", and pointed some of her "fans" to our site, to see what a savage/s40 can really do and look like, hope they click the link.

She is a bit short sighted, and gets pointed in a direction by "friends", who also tried to repair her savage....(and sound like HD fan boys)well , that is what I got out of it.
Sounded like someone who helped her didn't help at all.

The savage does kind of look familiar though.... not sure if she posted here or not. Huh

Dealer near me has a new 2014 in his showroom tagged for $8275. I don't know why it's more than the MSRP of a 2016, unless it's got some add-ons.

I don't know if it matters but I think the G650gs is made in India not Germany.

Pretty expensive 650 single, anyhow.
