|  New from Connecticut
Hi all I'm new to this site - and fairly new to CT as well. I found this site because I'm looking for a new bike and looking for advice. Right now I have a 2004 Suzuki Savage that I bought new. Last Spring my husband and I rode our bikes from MI (our old home) to CT (our new one) and I learned that my Savage and I are just not the good friends we once were. She's REALLY uncomfortable. I'm not really big (5'3" not thin, but not too chubby either). I've been to some dealers and tried out (just sitting on since dealerships around here don't let you test ride) a Suzuki C50 and a Yamaha V Star 650. The C50 feels a tiny bit big, while the V Star feels just right. I know that sounds like the decision should be easy, but here's the problem. My Savage felt "just right" a few years ago, and she turned out not to be - I quickly outgrew her. I want this purchase to be one that I'm happy with for a number of years. The C50 is fuel-injected, while the V Star has a carburator/choke. An interested bystander at the dealer suggested that after a couple of weeks on the C50 I'd feel just fine. He was not a salesman, just a random guy who said he was delighted to see a girl getting her own bike. So what do you all think? Anyone who know CT understands we have windy roads. When we take long trips we like to take back roads and state highways as opposed to the interstate. Any help is appreciated Lizzie |
