General comments?
Beautiful bike, there is no doubt. It's a real head turner! Mine is red and white with the full complements of the C50T model accessories.
I bought it used off Craigslist and it was only 4 months old. Previous owner added many goodies that I would have added myself (i.e. light bar, passenger floorboards, cruise lock, rear luggage rack). I was sold immediately.
This is my first bike in over 20 years. I had a '82 Goldwing before. I could have gone bigger, but at my current age I wanted something lighter and real nimble. I found it in this machine. It's light enough for in town cruising, yet heavy enough for freeway riding. A good mid-weight bike! But unlike my old wing, this ride does produce some vibes from the v-twin. The vibes are most note able through the floorboards, at speeds above 65 MPH. Fortunately though, the vibes do not effect the mirrors, however.
Keeping it clean isn't all that hard either. I thought the white wall tires might be a problem, but I found them very easy to clean. Just spray the white walls with Westley's Blech-Wite tire cleaner (which can be found most anywhere), lightly scrub with an old tooth brush, and then rinse off. Voila, egg shell white! It doesn't get any easier!
For my purposes this machine is great and does what I wanted! I highly recommend it to anyone! Even if I sometimes might not be able to ride it, I can still enjoy just looking at something so beautiful!
