2005 Suzuki Boulevard M50 review from United States of America
"It's a cheap bike, and it feels cheap"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
Needed a tune up at 3000 miles. It was running rough, backfiring, and blowing black smoke out the exhaust.
General comments?
I hate it! It's hard to handle, and very uncomfortable. This bike is unstable, and unsafe at high speeds, with vibration, and wandering all over the road. The uneven center of gravity makes it almost impossible to take simple curves. It's too heavy, the handle bars are too far forward, it's like you are holding on for your life riding it.
