Re: My GZ and S40(Savage 650) comparison

You might like the C-50 as a next bike once you have some experience and developed your riding skills. The GZ is a great trainer for new riders. Lynda graduated from her GZ to an M-50 and really likes the size and power but the weight was a bit of a learning curve for a 5'3" rider. I almost bought the C-50T last summer after a lot of thought and a ride.
The S-50 would be a nice upgrade too. Sportier than the other 50 series bikes and lighter too. Not my choice as it would not be a long distance bike in my opinion. The M can be made into a touring bike easier and has the benefit of shaft drive, FI, a larger tank and more aftermarket stuff just like the C-50. Any bike can be made into a tour bike when the desire is there.

Lynda's GZ and her present M-50.
