2005 Suzuki Boulevard M50 review from United States of America
"This bike is VERY good value"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
Absolutely nothing has gone wrong with the bike.
General comments?
The ride is good, very little vibration, handles well, the seat is very comfortable for a stock seat (even after a 160 mile trip). I would like the handle bars to be just a bit closer, but not really a big deal.
I have the black version, gets a lot of looks and questions. I have removed all the badging, looks really slick and a little more custom. I was going to go with after market exhaust, but I can't find anything that I feel looks better. I really like how the exhaust extends past the rear tire.
The mileage is awesome, roughly 56 mpg on the last tank. Runs great, my friend's 1100 Shadow can't shake me on the highway, and I got him off the line.
There is a lot of plastic, but it is plastic done right. Smooth edges, seamless, good paint and finish.
