Then, 'twould be a Savage... Huh

Nay, 'twould be an SR400 with electric leg, the savage is a cruiser, the SR a standard, totaly diferent

DR, I think with some fabbing a Tempter would accept a Savage driveline, they's so similar the Savage engine must be descended from the Tempter's
Like a GN400's motor was basically a DR motor

I had a Savage 11 years ago. It was a fun bike but very uncomfortable for me after 30 minutes of riding. The seat was just terrible and a Harley Sportser seat was no better. This year I bought a 2015 SR400. It's power is down from the Savage but the riding position and seat are much better for me. When revving to 4000 rpm it does get a bit vibey. I replaced the front sprocket with a larger one to help with vibration. That did help but it is still a single without a counter-balancer. I also have a Yamaha XT225 and I will say its motor is much smoother.

I am loving the SR400 though. The standard style reminds me of my first bikes and is my preference.

Vibration. Without a balancer is probably quite an issue with this bike. It is only a 400 but Ill bet it gets ones attention at higher revs. :'(

================================

I'm going to look at a 2017 LS650 this Sunday, but I've never ridden one. How is the vibration? Now, I expect there to be some vibration at higher RPM . . . that won't bother me too much.
