A Vulcan 500 would leave one in the dust, and would be much more comfortable. The Hyosung 250 cruiser would also outperform a Savage. That's the only point I was making. Again, the Savage would offer some simplicity, but I doubt any real reliability advantage. They're all pretty bulletproof.

I was not jumping on you or chastising you, i was just mentioning some facts about the Savage that you guys left out. The Hyosung 250 I have ridden, and while impressive for a 250, I doubt that it is bulletproof by any stretch of the imagination (it might be, I wouldn't know as I don't own one, but I doubt it). The Ninja is not a fair comparision because it is not even the same class of bike, the Vulcan weighs about 100 pounds more than the Savage and only has about 12 more horsepower, and only lists a top speed of about +/-90mph so I doubt very seriously that it would leave the little light Savage in any dust (although would probably be three times as comfortable).
So again, this post is not meant to attack you, and neither was the other one (I humbly apoligize if it came off sounding that way.)
