    This bike keeps going and going, just like the Eveready bunny. I've ridden, double, from upstate NY to Tennessee and back, all over NY, Pennsylvania and then to Maine and back. Through rain, heat and everything in between and have only changed the oils and cleaned it up. It just keeps going. ...

  • 2008 Suzuki C50
    By  (I am an Owner) on Feb 02, 2009

    I bought this bike last summer and absolutely enjoyed every trip. The power to weight ratio allows you to keep up with the larger bikes. I rode it around Lake Superior last summer and the 2000km trip was fantastic. I bought this bike with windshield and sadlebags already installed and they look great ...

    I put on 7000km last summer and over all its a quick, fun, bike and very enjoyable to ride.

  • Bought New C50 in 2007
    By  (I am an Owner) on Jan 14, 2009

    Got it in January of 2008 and put over 10,000 Km on it this year. As it ages it gets even smoother and is an excellent cruiser. I find it very fast off the line and will keep pulling at 140 kph with a load. My wife got tired of being on the back so I bought her an 08 S40 for Christmas. Only disappointment ...

    Other than that Suzuki did a wonderful job! Bill McKenzie, Calgary, Alberta, Canada.

    I commute daily and have moved from a motard to this cruiser and haven't looked back since. For comfort, ride quality and efficiency this is the best way to go and with all that chrome it looks great.

  • Great Bike
    By  (I am an Owner) on Oct 27, 2008

    My bike is mainly a commuter. As a Scuba instructor and for my regular job, this bike exceeds my expectations; if I am riding 1 hr. each way to the job or heading to the ocean - I am comfortable and the mileage is fantastic.

    The bike is very well balanced and handles the corners better ...

  • Exceptional value
    By  (I am an Owner) on Oct 06, 2008

    I've gotten many compliments with my C50. Quick off the line and excellent looking also. Being short legged, the fit and ride are awesome.

    I bought this bike new this past summer and have really enjoyed it. Most of my travels is back roads doing between 35-50 MPH. The bike handles every cornor and turn with ease and packs plenty of power. Although not in the same league with 1000cc + bikes, it has more than enough power to allow me ...
