I do plan on eventually making the step up to a Suzuki Boulevard S40 in the next year or two and still keep my GZ 250. :rawk:

The S 40 is a proven big single and probably a good step up for a person of your height and weight. A 27.6 inch seat height, 352 lbs dry or about 375 fueled up. We did talk to a little gal earlier this year who had one and she loved it. As suggested the S 50 is an option but here are the numbers. Seat is 27.6 inchs, the same as a 40. Dry weight is 443 with another 26.4 lbs for fuel. A test sit will never hurt but do you want a bike 4 times your weight ?? The S 50 is a better bike in my opinion and only you can/will decide when the time is right and which bike is right. In a year or 2 there will be more experience and skill in your riding career, you can dream about your next bike like the rest of us.
