Nothing has gone wrong with the bike yet.

The last bike that I had was a 1200cc H-D; the darn thing cost me too much money to keep it running, and it only has 7 more horse power than the Suzuki M50 805cc!

This M50 is pretty cool; the only thing about it that I don't like, is it doesn't have a 6th gear, this bike really needs a 6th gear!

I ride this bike on long trips, I go across the "Blue Ridge Parkway" in NC and it has more than enough power to pull any hill, even with my wife on the back; she weighs about 120lb and I weigh 239lb. The bike speeds up great from a stop with us on it!

We also ride with large groups, and we keep up fine with the bigger bikes. The next Suzuki I buy will be a C-109!

Faults:

Head light seems really dim in low beam, but dealer says it's a standard bulb and everything is normal (I drive with the high beam on now).

General Comments:

I love this bike. I was / am a complete noob to riding motorcycles; never even shifted one until the M50. I got laughed at for buying this as my first bike. However I will tell you this; it's a fantastic first time bike. I love it and am happy with my choice. It's got all the power / looks you need to not get bored with it.

It really felt like the bike was built just for me. It handles and feels great; even the braking is smooth and quick.

Great bang for the buck!

I have already ridden in a large group of other bikes, and the M50 got quite a bit of attention with its unique features and "Harleyish" looks. Everyone wanted to sit on it (Yes, including the one Harley guy we had)

Nothing.

I am a new rider. I went to a class with Honda 250's to get licensed. I had a '97 650 Savage first.

My new Blue 2006 M50 is great. I knew as soon as I saw it, this one was the only one for me. Not to mention the great price/value.

I only wish I was as good a rider as this bike is. She forgives me quite a lot, and is teaching me more every day. She is always ready, willing and able. I have 800 miles so far.

I am 5'7" and she fits perfectly. I don't find longer rides tiring except for the wind and I plan on getting a shield soon.

One tiny little thing: I don't like the stock mirrors. They don't match the bike. I think the C50 mirrors would go better.

I plan on keeping her forever <3.

Faults:

I've not had any problems.

I've had this bike for over a year now and it is December. I like it enough that I'm still riding it in the snow.

Right after I got it, I moved my front pegs forward 3.5" and mounted a set of saddle bags on it. The peg move wasn't a necessity, but made it more comfortable. I'm 6'4" tall.

Not long after that I gutted the exhaust with a 3 5/16" hole saw and changed the fueling. Now it can breathe.

I just put a new 200 mm tire on the back and I think it will run another 7500 miles without a breakdown.
