Every rose has its thorn.
I don't know of any bike that satisfies every situation.
The best slab runner isn't the best for hopping across town.
The Salvage will haul a guy out of the boonies, down the country roads and into town and be a Hoot doing it. It's happy cutting through traffic. AND, it doesn't sound like it's screaming
Hey, Cops, I'm wound out and running eighty!
I hear crotch rockets from blocks away. If I was a cop, I'd be looking for whatever is making that noise.
The Supertrapp may have been bait, but if it was, they never bit me. I Did have a cycle cop give me the

They are small statured, no doubt. Heck, we have a member who weighs a whopping hunnert pounds..
Point out another bike that is inviting to someone so diminutive, yet, will drag a 200+ pounder around good enough to make them giggle.
Maybe it's Not the ideal long ride machine, but Beat Duck went from Florida, out to Burning Man, North, to Canada, east to above Niagara, south to home. He had to get tires on the trip.
It will Do more than any bike I know of. I have limited experience, but I will always remember my savage fondly.
I have a small one.
And you like it.
It's Your life.
You're the one living it.
When it's your turn to die
You'll be the one doing the dying.
The only people who can Possibly tell you how to live
Are the people who will do the dying when it's your turn.
Nobody can do that?
Nobody gets to tell you how to live.
Except me, of course, cuz I'm smarter than you...
