The Savage and Ninja 500 are both considered starter bikes, but truly, neither is, unless you just want bigger / faster, which comes at more weight and slower handling I've never ridden a Sporty, much less a big twin, though i am jealous of the way they'll roll 70 with the motors just ticking over, but I've ridden big tourers, big sportbikes up to the 2012 GSXR1000, and a few large Metric cruisers, and I cam say with certainty that I could live happily with the Savage for my whole riding career, if it just had a real 5th gear, and the same goes for the Ninja 500, if it only had a readily replaceable bar I've thought about an older Vulcan 500, if i find one, as a sort of medium between the two, or, if I was flush with cash, the Ninja 650 currently produced (with a readily replaceable bar) I still sort of want a big dual sport, though
