2005 Suzuki C50 review from United States of America
"Best overall bike on the market"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
Warning light would flash without cause. Dealer replaced some relays to fix problems.
General comments?
Daily rider for work and some mountain runs in the Colorado high country.
Very good value, and very pleased overall.
50 miles to the gallon, and average 125 miles per tank.
Good sounding pipes for stock.
Fun to ride and comfortable.
Many outstanding comments on the Limited Black looks.
My comments on the bad include a plastic rattle I can't find.
The drum brake works, but it really needs a disk in back. Mountain riding with my girlfriend (110lbs) on the back takes extra care for slowing it down safely.
The oil site window is the worst idea on the bike. Hard to check, so people won't attempt to do it. I have mirror mounted on garage wall so I can see the min / max marks when sitting level.
