My two cents is to definitely do the research on the bikes you have your eyes on. I first read hours of reviews on different bikes. Price was a major factor for me and comfort, handling, maintenance, and the weight of the bike. Remember, your going to need to be able to handle the new heavier weight of the bike if you choose something bigger than a 250cc. My current bike weighs about 210 pounds more than the gz250. I can also do all my own maintenance on the bike like I did with the gz250 which is a major plus factor to save more money in the long run

How about the VS800 now called S-50 Water Warrior? . I want your opinion. As I said earlier I am happy with my GZ. But still every now and then I see bikes and prices and that model seems pretty good and if it's as simple and reliable as the GZ with more power, for the price they are sold is something good... :-) |

The S-50 is a nice bike. Liquid cooled and has a nice clean shaft drive. Balanced look with a pipe on each side. This is the only 50 series Suzuki with carbs while the rest are FI fuel systems. A little lighter so it should go like a bat out of hell. Have a test sit on one if you can. Also so do a search for S-50 forums. You should get an owners opinion about it.

The Buell is out of production and there is little dealer support available for them. They were a good idea but didn't really make it to the short list for most folks. Too bad really. They might have evolved into a fine bike with a large following.
