  • Great and more
    By  (I am an Owner) on Jul 28, 2017

    I have owned this bike for just over 2 years and it's been trouble free with many happy miles. The only negative things I can say is about the original tires from Dunlap, I have since replaced them with Shinko 777 front & rear and I should have changed these from the first day, if I had known the ...

    By  (I am an Owner) on Sep 03, 2011

    Just got a terrific deal on a new (as in .1 mile on the odometer) 2009 C50T. Terrific deal belied by my absence of mc experience (at least 40+ years since last ride). Have my learner's permit from DMV. Got her home okay (though did seriously consider pushing her home). Sweet ride, once I got the ...

  • Useless review
    By  (I am an Owner) on Dec 13, 2010

    I have a brand new '09 C50T setting in the garage waiting for riding weather. I have only had the chance to ride it about 1 mile. That is enough to know that I am very anxious for warmer weather! I have been riding on or off road for 40 years, and owned many different bikes, and I must say I am more ...

    I love the styling similar to the HD softail. I love the comfort(although I do want a driver backrest). It's just killing me waiting on the weather! LOL

  • Awesome Ride
    By  (I am an Owner) on Sep 01, 2010

    I am a new rider(2010) and I must say it was love at first site with my C50T. I love the vintage look, white-wall tires (I have a black and gray one). Like most have said, the C50T came standard with windshild, footrest, comfortable seats. I have had my C50T since May 27 and already have 1800+ ...

  • Canadian Tour
    By  (I am an Owner) on Jul 16, 2010

    I just completed a 3600+ mile tour of Canada on my 2009 c50t. This is one fabulous riding bike, totally reliable, and very comfortable. I had no problem maintaining speeds throughout the trip in the 70 - 75 mph range and would highly recommend this cruiser to anyone looking for a mid-size bike. ...

  • Great bike
    By  (I am an Owner) on Mar 11, 2010

    I bought my C50T three months ago. What a great ride! It's smooth and comfortable and I'me constantly getting great compliments on its looks. I am glad I did research and am now hooked on the boulevard line. I think i will stick with Suzukis.

  • Little Money for Great Bike
    By  (I am an Owner) on Mar 11, 2010

    I was looking around at a local dealer who sold Honda, Suzuki, Yamaha, and Kawasaki bikes. I already owned a Harley Sportster and wasn't planning on buying another bike quite yet. I was only there because I was with a friend whom was buying some gear. All of a sudden I see this 2-tone (blue & white) ...

    My friend came over and said, "John that bike is you". I was a bit leery about the engine size being only 50 cubic inches, but after taking it for a ride that was put to rest.

    Needless to say, I bought it and rode it home. That was in July 2009 and it's now March 2010. I've put over 4000 miles on it. I've rode it more than 400 miles in one day, and was still ready to ride when I got home. I bought a gel pad for the saddle, but have never needed it even though I have no ass to speak of (LOL).

    Another thing is that about all the accessory manufacturers make stuff for the C50T. During the winter I added Kuryakyn grips, Kuryakyn Hypercharger, Cobra pipes, Cobra Fi2000r fuel processor, Kuryakyn mirrors, Cobra engine guard, and pegs. It is a bike that's easily customized and has classic good looks.

    The C50T came standard with windshield, bags, backrest, and floorboards. It has looks similar to a HD Heritage Soft-Tail. You can buy a new C50T for about $7500, so it's a real bargain at that price. I've seen them on sale at some dealers for even less.

    I was told when I changed the pipes that I couldn't make it sound like my Harley, well I didn't expect it to. In all honesty though, It sounds as good, but a little different.

    By  (I am an Owner) on Nov 11, 2009

    I bought this bike in march, this year, off the showroom floor,love it best bike I ever owned,BUT... it is too quiet, would very much like to install a little throatier system,eg.. vance&hines cruzers, no luck as of yet, 2009 is all by itself. One can get cobra streetrodders, but they sound a little ...

  • Very Impressed with this ride...
    By  (I am an Owner) on Sep 04, 2009

    This is about my 6th bike, biggest was a KZ 750. By far this is a nice ride for the dollar. I am very pleased with it so far and have had zero problems. I live in Canada and now have just passed the 10,000 km mark, 6200 miles, since buying new. I get great remarks about it's looks as well. I love ...

    I have owned motorcycles my whole life and have enjoyed them both on and off road. I bought the C50T because it is a great bike for local riding and for getting out with friends and thier bikes for longer rides. I have no problem keeping up with the bigger bikes and enjoy a comfortable ride at a ...
