Hi Barry:
I was at this point a few weeks ago trying to figure out what my first gasser would be. I still don't know as I went the opposite way from you and went smaller and got a YS110! Ha ha. Anyway, there is a fellow on here whose name is Aerobob and he did a spreadsheet, located here:

Aerobob's spreadsheet shows that the weight differences between the 50cc classed engines are very minor when you consider the weight of the muffler and ignition system.
