2008 Suzuki Boulevard M50 review from United States of America

No problems experienced.

The 2008 M50 is my first bike, and it absolutely performs as other riders have experienced. The M50 is very smooth, comfortable, handles great, well balanced and no wicked vibration. It is a very easy bike to ride.

I have read other forums, with (subtle) complaints, regarding seat comfort, handle bar position, shaft jacking, quiet pipes, and rear brakes. I only find the quiet pipes and rear brakes to be true. A rear disk brake would have been nice. However, during my break-in service, I hope the rear brakes will be addressed, and perhaps changing the pipes at a later date may be in order.

The seat if very comfortable. On the second day of having it, I rode for three hours with no "lower posterior" issues. Then after a 2 hour break, I rode another 3 hours.

The Suzuki M50 is a great bike for the price. Not to mention, its looks. The M50 is definitely unique.

If your final decision is to purchase the M50, you have made a good decision. However, do expect people to approach you (or roll up in their cars on your right side) to gawk and/or ask you brief questions about the bike you're riding.
