I've just treated myself to a new toy for Christmas. For some time I have been looking for a trail bike and had been hoping for an Apache. However, they are very few and far between down here. Recently a newly restored 250 Savage came up for sale and I struggled sorely with temptation In the end I could not resist the urge and she arrived at my place today. The photos are a bit grainy so don't show the shininess to full advantage but she is a very tidy wee machine. There's a couple of things that aren't correct for the 71 model but hey, the price was pretty good and I'm a happy boy.

Very sweet indeed - I especially like the HUGE side panel badges. Enjoy her!
Must be said, I've often thought of having a big single-cylinder stroker trailie in the garage, like a PE250 or maybe going the whole hog and getting a Yam IT465 ...
1976 GT380 - wounded by me, and sold on
2006 SV650S - killed by a patch of diesel and a kerb in Feb 2019
2017 SV650 AL7 - naked and unashamed
