Careful there Shawn... I'll take a 6 volt, kickstart only, magneto fired Knuckle, Pan, or Flatthead Big Twin HD over my Savage anyday of the week, and twice on the weekends.  When you've tried REAL HDs (1903-1964), nothing else really can compare. The old pre-unit British bikes are decent (except for the Lucas electrical parts, bleah   ), pre-1953 Indians are good too. Most of the time, I'd choose a 65-69 Pan/Shovel over the Savage as well. 1970 up BT or any Sportster, I'd choose the Savage.

I wanted another HD when I found the Savage. All I could find affordably in HD were Evos. I basically bought the Savage out of spite. And if I was offered a complete rolling basket pre-65 HD or pre-53 Indian in trade for it, the Savage would be gone. It's a matter of taste, the thumper is "cute", I'd rather have flat black and evil.
