Faults:

Started missing recently. Oil darkens quickly.

General Comments:

Throttle lags a bit. Shaft drive makes the ride a bit "jerky". Handles great. Overall response is good and quickness is surprising. Top speed is a bit lacking... but that's probably just me needing a bigger bike. Great looking bike and the price was right. Oh ya... it's way too quiet.

Faults:

The price was fair, and I wanted a touring style bike and couldn't afford a bigger bike, so I went with this one, so that the wife and I could take some road trips now that the kids are older.

Unfortunately it does vibrate a lot, so my hands are always numb. The rear seat is narrow and not padded well, so any passenger will be unhappy pretty quick.

Not a great bike for long trips, but it's OK for local riding.

Plenty of power and handles well.

Faults:

I have had no major problems with my M50.

General Comments:

I ride 110 miles round trip five days a week for school. I have put 12,000 miles on my M50 in 6 months, and haven't had to do anything to the bike but the services and oil changes.

Faults:

Nothing has gone wrong, but I've only had it for about a month, so haven't really had time to have issues.

General Comments:

I love my M50 Limited. It is my first bike and I can't imagine riding anything else. Could be a little more powerful when riding with a passenger, but some performance updates should fix that right up. Look forward to riding it everyday.

Faults:

I have had no problems.

General Comments:

The Boulevard M50 looks good and drives good

Faults:

Plastic is easily scratched on front/rear fenders.

General Comments:

This bike is not for long trips. Anything over an hour and a half and you will feel slight discomfort, and after that it steadily gets worse. I just finished a 10 hour ride and feel like I have been beaten up. The seat that comes with it is not designed for long trips.

Besides the above, I have had no problems with it. It starts first try, handles great, and looks good going down the street.

Faults:

Nothing has gone wrong with my M50.

General Comments:

This bike handles great. I enjoy every second I am on it.

Faults:

Nothing!

This bike rocks! I’ve had my eye on the M50 line since they first came out in 2005. I finally got my hands on a limited edition 2007 model back in July, and 4,000 miles later, I have no regrets.

This bike is everything I’d hoped it would be and much more. It has far surpassed any expectations I may have had for it.

My friend had purchased a Vulcan 900 and tried to get me to do the same. Another friend tried to talk me into an 883 Sportster as well, but after a lot of research, I found that the M50 was a better bike not only for the money, but for the additional features as well.

The Harley was ruled out first because of two reasons; it was carbureted instead of fuel injected, and it was air cooled instead of liquid. Not to mention the crapy looking base pipes it comes with. I’d end up paying 10 grand for the bike just to make it sound like a Harley!

I chose the M50 over the Vulcan 900 mainly because of the low maintenance shaft drive versus the belt. Not to mention the looks! It’s a beautifully designed bike! The power and acceleration are great also. I can’t say enough great things about this bike, but there are a couple of things that bug me:

1: That rear brake is too soft. I took it to the dealership for adjustment, and it's working better, but a disk would work much better.

2: The bike wasn’t loud enough for me, so thanks to a video I found online (Debaffle this!), I de-baffled my M50! If anyone out there is thinking about it, then check out this video and go for it. It really is as easy as it looks, and it sounds almost as good as a Harley now!
