Pete in NH

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 or trade the ...bike before I ride it to Montana.
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.

Rides like butter

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 and all contr...ols are in comfortable places.
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! Read Full Review

Beautiful Bike

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! It ...has lots of power and I love the black rims and chrome accents. Put 130 mi on it in one day, didn't want to stop riding. My opinion,.. BUY THIS BIKE, it's not too small and not so large its hard to maneuver! Read Full Review

Drive shaft

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. Read Full Review

Extremely satasfied.

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... in bl/wh and get many great comments from all cycle riders regardless of brand preferance.
