I had a twinstar 185 back .... long time ago ...
It was a neat little bike , top speed was about 75 mph and it was Fun !
My ex kept it when I got a 250 Rebel and we rode a lot of local rides. It kept up with the Rebel just fine.
Then I sold it to my little brother and him and his best buddy wore it out to the tune of close to 30,000 miles . One time they even rode it to Florida from middle Tn. It would cruse at 60+ just fine ridding double (two 125# boys) .
If there is a young or small NEW rider in your future you would do very well to set them up with it for under $1000.oo

I'll have to differ with ya about the Savage not being good on a trip . Sure ya need to put the larger front pulley on it if ya want to run 70-75 ish for tank after tank full .
I did a 600+ mile day last summer going to Lancer's in Ok from middle Tn.
and the year before did an 800+ mile day coming back from Texas after ridding it all over South Texas Hill Country for a week . 1300+ miles from home (did take two days to do the 1300 miles) .
Don't sell the little Savage short ... put proper gearing on it and just go !
