Anyone measured the engine dimensions? (Read 30 times)

I would prefer two left feet and a thumb of rule, actually Grin

Perhaps I should have asked the question differently; have anyone fitted a Savage engine to a "standard" frame, like that of a GS400 or similar? I would expect not, but if possible, that would have been ideal. Another option would be a frame that already houses a big single, like that of the DR650.

The reason for my question is that I love the looks and the gentle tune of the Savage engine, but the frame leaves a lot to be desired for me, as I would like to have the engine in a standard-ish frame, or make a good scrambler/tracker. Doing so based on the stock frame would never obtain the right look without serious modification.

But I think it is easier to modify ergonomics that change the frame, which will also likely demand a new tank etc. Or perhaps I should just import an ST400 and fit it with a 650 engine But that will be a very costly bike, likely closer to 10k USD.
