That is important when trying to bull your way through loose gravel in the bottom of creek beds.. and similar stuff

Thank you for that. I've seen and am a big fan of the frijole. Perhaps my question wasnt as clear as it could have been. I meant if forced to choose between both vehicles stock, which would you take and why?

Since I like to yap about the bolt when ever someone says sportster (its a jap sportster IMHO) Yamaha Made a bike called the SCR950 - intended as a on/off road styled motorcycle - the operative word being styled. It came with Trailwing tires and a higher rear fender by virtue of a seat hoop. Look up 2019 SCR 950. It had spoked alumimum rims and a wide handlebar.
My bolt is one of those I Unbolted - and in the SCR form well, its suspension travel was dismal cos it was cruiser suspension but it did get you the extra travel if needed. Its ground clearance was same as the cruiser, which is a bit better than a savage IMHO.
I am tempted to say while heavier than a savage, it may make a 1/2 decent trail bike just by virtue of tires and handle bars alone.

Else my nod to the savage. Almost depends on the tires you have on it.

Cool.
Srinath.

Thank you very much, that is exactly the type of thing I was looking for. Like I said I know it's not a dirt bike, but im still relatively new and wonder what characteristics would be more predisposed to rougher terrain on one vs the other. Ill never take my bike off road, but sandy gritty muddy terrain are likely (theres more of that here in the city than youde think)
