I have tried the C50 and V-Star 1100. The heights feel good but the weight will probably dictate my final choice.
Please help remove my ignorance about bikes.
Thanks to All and have a great day,

Ken, I am 53 years old and riding again after a 17 year break....(kids)...I recently bought a 2008 C50T Suzuki.....compared to my other bikes I had over the years, this one is like driving a Lazy-Boy.....it's very nice. I am 6'2" and weigh 215lbs.....
The V-Star 1100 has a design flaw!!!! You need to buy a oil filter relocation kit, otherwise you have to loosen the exhaust pipes to change the oil....
good luck in your choice!!!
