a lot depends on your size, strength and ability.
I also think that there's too many people in the "it's not if but when you'll drop your first bike" crowd.
If the C50 feels right to you, then it probably is.
I sat on a bunch of bikes while deciding on my first bike. Most felt huge and too heavy for me. I'm glad I chose the S50 - it's helped me become a proficient rider and I don't ever plan on dropping it!
