It all depends on what you want.
After a 300 mi day trip with friends, my Savage kept up fine with the other bikes, but I wanted something that wasn't quite so cramped for my 6', 275lbs. I wanted somthing still relatively light weight, since most of my riding is short rides both in and out of town. I didn't want a large, heavy, big displacement roadburner. My budget for motorcycle fun is small, so cost was a factor. Also, it needed to be relatively simple from a mechanical perspective so I could still do my own maintenance.
I ended up with an older ('98) Kawasaki Vulcan 800 Classic. Single carb v-twin, 18k miles, $3000.
So far, it is fitting all my my needs.
