  • Drive shaft
    By  (I am an Owner) on May 12, 2012

    Good day ladies and gentlemen

    I am wondering why the drive shaft that went on my 2009 Suzuki Blvd M-50 with about 38000 km on it would go like that ????

    is there usually a warning, some kind of noise, but nothing, I was sitting at a red light and then just a loud grinding. ...

    Cheers.

    Besides that, I love the bike, runs great.

  • Beautiful Bike
    By  (I am an Owner) on Jun 23, 2011

    I just bought the m50 limited edition and got a great deal, i used to have an Intruder 800 and like this bike more! Got it to ride w/wife and she loves it (bought it w/the large sissy bar-worth the money if riding 2). Everyone comments it looks like a Harley w/two tone paint, even Harley owners! ...

  • Rides like butter
    By  (I am an Owner) on Mar 28, 2011

    I just bought the 2009 Suzuki M50. It was a left over, zero miles, so I got a good deal on it. (Suzuki offering a rebate sale for March.. I got her for $6,000!)

    I have only put 100 miles on it so far, but it has been an impressive 100 miles!

    The shaft drive is very smooth, shifting ...

    Ample power for an 800cc machine. I don't feel overwhelmed and heavy like I do on a bulky 1500, but feel like I have plenty of push when I need to lean on it.

    Reasonably agile, light enough to back out of my garage.

    The look is very clean, the lines stylized. Every time I look at it I HAVE to touch it.

    Seems to handle bumps and frost heaves pretty well.

    There are a TON of accessories available for this model. It is going to be a good summer!

  • 2006 Suzuki Boulevard M50
    By  (I am an Owner) on Jul 26, 2009

    I bought this bike new in April 2006. I have put 26 thousand miles on it. So far only regular maintenance has been required. This is going to be a tough act to follow. You will not find a better bike for everyday enjoyment.

  • Just bought one for myself... here's my review
    By  (I am an Owner) on May 27, 2009

    I searched all over for reviews when I decided I was going to buy the M50. Now I'm writing one. I couldn't be happier with my decision. I gave it a full review on my personal site. Check it out here:

    Bought my C50T based on these reviews.

    It's revving a lot more freely after a 1000 miles, a big improvement. Very Torquey. A nice machine all in all with enough power for 2 up riding.

    SAFETY re: Brakes! Their dangerously marginal at best. I'll check on better pads for the rear ...

    SAFETY re: lights! Standard headlight is evil. My lightbar with 3" lites help but really needed 5 inch lites.

    SADLY MISSING: a 6th gear. MODIFIED: windshield got cut down due to wind buffeting on highway. I'm getting 50 mpg & the machine feels good. Bags & windshield on the tourer aren't worth the extra charge. Get the M50 instead & get lites, improved brake pads (if available), a windshield & lockable luggage that keeps things dry, seperately.

  • Extremely satasfied.
    By  (I am an Owner) on Apr 17, 2009

    For the money, ($7599.00) I don't believe that there is a better bike out there. I quickly ran through the break in period and when I got he bike back from the dealer it was like a super tune up. Lotsa torque, good throttle response, great muscle looks and at a great price. I bout the 2009 Limited ...

  • First Motorcycle
    By  (I am an Owner) on Jan 05, 2009

    The Suzuki M50 is my first bike in my life and I found it complete in every sense. I would only make two changes t improve, fisrt a 6th gear and second back wheel disc breaks. I bought regular leather saddlebag and a back rest for the passenger and it looks robust and very classic cool. The ridding ...

  • I Can't Say Anything Bad
    By  (I am an Owner) on Dec 24, 2008

    I Love this bike. It's a daily driver, except rain but it's a dream. This is a great bike. I can't say how many upgrades there are. If your not happy with the power after you get over the "break in" period, Upgrade it. You don't like the chrome, change it, if you want more chrome, add it. Don't ...
